By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

Borno’s Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has executed more than 1,238 capital projects across the 27 local Government Areas of the state, since 2019, in real term, invariably putting him ahead as one of the leading two terms serving Governor.

Three mega-secondary schools commissioned by the World Bank Country Director, Dr. Ndiame Diop, and the 1.2 km Shehu Abubakar Garbai Express Way, Borno Express Flyover, Metro Housing (Kashim Shettima Estate), and Njimtilo 500 Housing Units

Among these projects were the three mega-secondary schools commissioned by the World Bank Country Director, Dr. Ndiame Diop, and the 1.2 km Shehu Abubakar Garbai Express Way, Borno Express Flyover, Metro Housing (Kashim Shettima Estate), and Njimtilo 500 Housing Units (Mai Mala Buni Estate), all commissioned by the Governor of Yobe State last week.

“We have been diligently planning a comprehensive multimedia campaign to showcase 7 (Seven) of Zulum’s recently commissioned projects”, according to release made available to newsmen on weekend entitled: “Hey! Let Zulum Shine again, Next Week Monday to Thursday”.

The release signed by the Governor’s SSA on new media Abdurrahman Bundi stated that “Some may think that this is unusual, considering that it is coming a week after the projects were commissioned”.

“However, it was strategically and deliberately planned to allow the mainstream media hype on the projects fizzle out first, before we “take over” the social media.

“Our aim is to bombard all social media platforms with Zulum’s recently commissioned landmark projects”, the statement declared.

It added that “To all our social media associates, let me borrow from my late boss, Mallam Isa Gusau, who usually says, “Hey guys, you are all familiar with how we operate”.

I want to use this medium to request for the participation of EVERYONE to showcase the incredible achievements of our Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum as the Governor of Borno State.

“We will be agog with social media for four (4) days in a syndicate style to circulate Zulum’s seven (7) recently produced multimedia promotional content on social media and other online and digital platforms.

“Our syndicated content circulation will “insha’Allah” start on Monday, December 16, 2024, and end on Thursday, December 19, 2024.

“I want to use this medium to request for the participation of EVERYONE to showcase the incredible achievements of our Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum as the Governor of Borno State.

“Zulum is a recipient of several awards for his outstanding achievements, including the Forbes Magazine African Leadership Award 2024, the African Governor of the Year Award (Education and People Development Category) 2023 by the African Leadership Magazine, and the Exemplary Leadership Award 2023 by Naija Diaspora Magazine.

“He was conferred with Nigeria’s national honour as Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022 and also a recipient of the Republic of Niger’s Second Order of National Honour, “de Grand Officer Dans I`Ordre” in 2021, which is the equivalent of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger, GCON, in Nigeria’s ranking of national honours. He is a hero and leader worth celebrating and we have to do it, once again, in grand style.
