The Governor of Borno, Prof. Babagana Zulum, was on the ground to receive him alongside all the security service chiefs, who have earlier arrived in the city.
The president is visiting Borno for the second time in 6 months having last visited on June 21, 2021, when he commissioned massive projects undertaken by the Borno State Government and North East Development Commission.
The president was immediately driven out of the airport to the site of the Shiek Tijjani Bolori Mega School behind Quarter Maiduguri.
Zulum appealed to the people to come out en-mass to appreciate Buhari’s efforts in supporting resettlement and recognise all the good works the president had done for the state in the last six years.
It was gathered that all markets were ordered to close and most roads within the metropolis are partially closed or diverted during the visit until the departure of the president scheduled for 2 p.m.
