Guterres also applauded Governor Zulum’s approach in the fight against terrorism throughout the state.

He said:

“I have discovered that here in Borno, thanks to the governor, you have understood and put in place the right approach to fight terrorism; of course, when we fight terrorists, we need to shoot at them; we need to have armies, but that would not solve the problem if we did not address the root cause. What I have seen here in Borno was a governor determined to address those root causes.”

The meeting between Zulum and the UN chief was shared by the Borno state government's Facebook page.
