Governor Zulum says famine imminent in Borno over Boko Haram threat to farmers
In a related report, Professor Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno state, declared that famine is imminent in the state unless its farmers can return to their farms.
The governor told BBC Hausa Service that the situation has become pathetic in the state now.
Zulum said thousands of refugees who have returned to their communities have no food and cannot cultivate their farmland.
He stressed that people cannot be allowed to die of hunger. He added that he would not allow a situation where children cannot go to school.
The governor said the non-governmental organisations giving support have done their best but are no longer providing food assistance because they are overwhelmed. Zulum said people have to return to their communities to farm and transact businesses.
