He has brought courage to bear in his various assignments and has amplified it as governor today, in a state with a high degree of insecurity.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cFor a man who does not see himself as a politician, his style and activities in government remain an inspiration. The daunting challenge of Boko Haram insurgency did not subdue his courage. Today, his imprints dot the entire landscape of the state.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIn his \u201c10-pact Transformation Agenda, he undertook 375 projects, beefed up security across the length and breadth of the state with over 300 patrol vehicles, established a Security Trust Fund, instituted a rapid security response team, provided a special protection component for farmers tagged Agro-Rangers, procured security gadgets and motivated security men.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cZulum, against all odds, has maintained regular visitations to high-risk security areas for citizens\u2019 \u201cneeds assessments,\u201d among others. Not dithered by security concerns, he also constructed 6,544 suburban and low cost houses for the resettlement of internally displaced persons and refugees. He established 21 new schools, 37 new primary healthcare centres and rehabilitated roads as well as the state\u2019s first flyover in Maiduguri, the state capital.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cAlso council secretariats, lodges, police stations, courts and palaces of resident traditional rulers were built in addition to 213 new boreholes, 18 electrification projects, eight agricultural projects, and seven vocational skills and entrepreneurship development. These people-oriented projects have restored hope to the traumatised people in the midst of adversity. They are like soothing balm to the morale and psyche of the people battered by insurgency.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cFor his courage to dare, in the midst of Boko Haram insurgency, he is winner of The Sun Courage in Leadership award.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Original report by Chidi Obineche, The Sun Newspapers.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun Awards: Zulum wins Governor of The Year for \u201cCourage in leadership\u201d \u2026 To be honoured Saturday Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum will on Saturday, be conferred with The Sun Newspapers\u2019 award as Nigeria\u2019s Governor of the Year for \u201cCourage in Leadership\u201d.
