Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno State, has urged Nigerians to remember the state in their prayers.
Zulum expressed confidence that Borno will surpass the gains being recorded by security agencies in the search for enduring tranquillity.
The governor, in his Independence Day message signed by his spokesman, Isa Gusau, said though there are signs of peace, efforts must be redoubled for total victory.
Zulum urged the people to reflect on peace-building initiatives executed over the years, saying peace will come if stakeholders passionately undertake and deliver on assigned tasks.
“Our military, other security agencies, and multinational forces are doing their parts; our volunteers in the Civilian JTF, hunters, and vigilantes are complementing their efforts.
“The Federal Government and Borno State Government are doing all things humanly possible to support armed forces and volunteers.”
Zulum reminded citizens of obligations to offer prayers and share credible information that can turn into actionable intelligence for the armed forces.
The governor assured that his administration is dedicated to the continuous exploration of lawful and logical options in the bid to fully regain peace, sustain ongoing resettlement and restore livelihoods.
