Buhari Is Set To Visit Maiduguri Thursday
Zulum, who made this known on Tuesday when he inspected the completed Custom flyover project in Maiduguri, begged residents of Maiduguri to give President Muhammadu Buhari a rousing welcome during his visit on Thursday.
During his visit, he said the president would commission the Custom flyover, 20km Custom – Muna dual carriageway and the Centre For Distance Learning, University of Maiduguri, all executed by the Zulum administration.
Zulum affirmed that President Buhari had initiated viable programmes which impacted positively on the lives of people of the state.
According to the Governor, Buhari has accorded priority to the restoration of peace and security as well as livelihood support to the people in the state.
He noted that Buhari had provided necessary support to facilitate the restoration of electricity supply in the state.
