KADUNA—Governor Kashim Shettima of Bornu State, yesterday, said the state would be different in the next six months when all the development projects he had put in place began to manifest.
Addressing the Summit for the Security and Development of Northern Nigeria, organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, SABMF, in Kaduna, Shettima said his government was investing massively in girl-child education, job creation for the youths and women empowerment to set an agenda of progress and development for the state.
According to him, the recent resort to suicide bombings by the insurgents was a clear indication of waning powers and desperation.
According to him, “we have crossed the Rubicon; we now want to tow the path of growth and development.
Boko Haram basks in the glory of attacking soft targets, but the monster has been decapitated.”
In his remarks, the former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, said the summit should have taken place immediately after the Civil War to serve as agenda setting for the North.
