To reduce the high cost of living caused by fuel subsidy removal, the Borno State
Governor, Babagana Zulum, yesterday, released 80 vehicles for free
transportation of farmers from their communities to farmlands.
The 80 vehicles comprise 50 luxury buses to be allocated from the fleet of the Borno
Express Corporation, the state-owned transport company.
Governor Zulum while addressing thousands of farmers, urged them to cooperate
with soldiers, police, and other security agencies deployed to roads to protect
citizens including farmers who go to the outskirts to access their farmlands.
The governor expressed gratitude to the military for their sacrifices in protecting
Borno’s people which is now enabling farming activities across the state.
