Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has announced a petrol subsidy for farmers in communities affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. The subsidy will reduce the cost of petrol from N1,000 to N1,200 per litre to N600 per litre.
The governor made the announcement during the distribution of farm inputs to over 5,000 farmers displaced by Boko Haram insurgents in Bama town. The subsidy aims to alleviate the financial burdens faced by farmers in communities that have suffered economic and infrastructural destruction due to years of conflict.
Governor Zulum also distributed farm inputs, including fertiliser, water pumps, gasoline pumps, solar water pumps, sprayers, hoses, pesticides, and seeds. He expressed gratitude to the federal government for supporting his administration’s efforts in reconstructing and resettling communities affected by insurgency.
