The former governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has reacted to criticisms of the launch of the Benue State Civil Protection Guards, BSCPG, also known as “Anyam Nyor,” by Governor Hyacinth Alia. The new outfit, inaugurated on Saturday , is meant to collaborate with other security agencies to end violent crimes across the state. A statement issued by the former governor’s aide, Trever Akase, noted that many reactions suggested that the present administration merely renamed the Community Volunteer Guards, a legacy of the Ortom administration. Ortom appealed to the people of the state to sheathe their swords and give peace a chance.

Image
Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has advocated for the establishment of large-scale irrigation farms as a key solution to addressing the escalating food insecurity in the Lake Chad Basin region. The governor made the call during a panel discussion titled “Ensuring Food Security through Building Resilience of Food Systems in the Lake Chad Basin Region” at the ongoing 5th Lake Chad Basin Governors’ Forum in Maiduguri. Governor Zulum emphasised that the Lake Chad Basin region is endowed with vast arable land which, if properly harnessed, can significantly contribute to the region’s food security.

Irrigated agriculture is the only solution. Unfortunately, our investment in irrigated agriculture is very low. “We have vast fertile land. Borno Sta...
