He emphasized that the state considers them part of the community and urged them to make the most of their service year.
Zulum further explained that his administration prioritizes youth empowerment as a cornerstone for economic restoration and community development. He stressed that investing in the younger generation is essential for the future of Borno.
In a related development, the governor met with the Emir of Biu, Alhaji Mustapha Umar Mustapha II, where he unveiled a plan to provide jobs for 100 local graduates from the Biu area.
