Governor Babagana Umara Zulum on Thursday paid a visit to Damboa town and Garjang community, both in Damboa Local Government Area in the southern part of Borno State.
During the visit, Zulum ordered the construction of a new General Hospital for Damboa township because internally displaced persons (IDPs) currently occupy the existing hospital since their spontaneous takeover in search of shelter.
“As you can see, the hospital premises is occupied by internally displaced persons.
Therefore, we will construct a new hospital complex around the existing one, where, even after the IDPs leave, it will serve as an extension to provide medical services for the increasing needs of the growing population.â€
