The governor, who interacted with teachers during the visit, also approved the construction of housing estate for teachers.
Zulum said the projects at the border area would not only give the people a sense of belonging but also enhance trans-border trade with neighbouring countries of Chad and Cameroon.
“I am here to assess facilities that are being constructed by the Borno State Government, most especially those that will put in place the civil authorities and enhance trans-border trade,” Zulum said.
Other projects inspected by the governor during the visit included Police station, Central Primary School, Higher Islamic College, Customs and Immigration offices and barracks.
