Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno has revoked all allocations of houses which have remained unoccupied at Indimi estate for more than a year in Bama local government area.
In line with the governor, since it was apparent those given the houses don’t want it, internally displaced persons, many who dwell in government camps, can be given the houses immediately.
The Governor gave the order at the Shehu of Bama’s palace on Monday when he visited the IDP camp in Bama.
The property, made up of 100 units of two-bedroom houses, constructed by Borno’s billionaire businessman, Alhaji Muhammad Indimi as a part of support to his home state.
The homes were allocated more than a year ago with allottees holding on them with out occupying them.
“Borno state government has revoked all allocations of houses at Indimi estate, we can not tolerate a situation where people claim ownership of those houses while they are living in Maiduguri.
Your highness, kindly compile the list IDPs from Jaudari village, all the houses should be allocated to them” Zulum told his host, Shehu Umar Ibn Kyari Elkanemi.
The IDPs, now staying in Bama town, are principally from villages sacked by insurgents in Banki, Gulumba, and Nguro Soye, all in Bama Local Government Area, Central part of Borno.
“I want to sympathize with you, you have been in a very difficult situation. The insurgents have displaced you from your houses and communities, without any means of livelihoods” the governor mentioned.
