Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, on Thursday returned to Marte after spending a night in the community on Saturday.
The visit was part of the ongoing efforts to restore peace, rebuild trust and foster sustainable development in the Lake Chad region.
During the visit, Governor Zulum held a meeting behind closed doors with military commanders aimed at devising modalities for restoring peace in Marte and the surrounding communities.
Zulum said his visit to Marte is to monitor the efficacy of his administration’s ‘re-settlement’ of the residents conducted a few days ago.
He expressed happiness that the community is fully back, and soldiers are on ground.
The governor was accompanied by members representing Marte, Monguno and Nganzai constituencies at the House of Representatives and others.
