The Borno state governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has approved the rehabilitation of Mohammed Lawan College of Agriculture , Maiduguri with additional N500 million in cash.
The college was completely submerged in the September flood which affected part of Maiduguri metropolis and the surrounding local government areas.
Governor Zulum announced the approval Tuesday while addressing the management and staff of the college when he paid an assessment visit.
The governor stated that government will embark on essential repairs, enhance academic facilities and provide modern teaching tools.
He said rehabilitation efforts will modernise the college’s infrastructure and ensure students have access to the necessary resources and facilities to thrive academically.
Zulum said: “I can see that this college needs a lot of support. Your existing facilities are not enough to provide the needed quality knowledge.
“I want to announce that In sha Allah, we will provide more infrastructure to the school. We will build more classrooms, hostels, lecture theatres, and other facilities,” Zulum said.
He charged the management of the school to use the N500m in investment that can generate revenue for the school to become self-reliant.
