The governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum has praised automobile spare-parts’ traders, mostly of Igbo extraction, for not leaving the state despite the security challenge.
Zulum, who visited “Bola”, Maiduguri’s most popular market for automobile parts, assured the Igbo traders that his administration would soon come up with a package to boost their business. The governor had recently constructed roads in the market to end difficulties faced by the traders and their customers.
“For the last decade you have remained firm, and you have been with us all the time. Even, during the peak of the insurgency, even when our people are leaving the state. You people have been selling spare parts here. The Igbo communities that are doing their businesses here are our brothers. Therefore, very soon government of Borno state will provide financial assistance to you,” he said.
He also charged the traders to maintain a hygienic environment.
Among the north-eastern states affected by insurgency, Borno is the worse hit.
