In their separate remarks, Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola and former Minister of Health, Prof. Issac F. Adewole both commended Governor Zulum for his quality leadership in Borno.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I personally see this award as a challenge.<\/div>\n
Let me assure you that this will further encourage me to do more\u201d Zulum said in his reaction.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
The Governor also expressed appreciation to his lecturers while he was a student at the University of Ibadan back in 1997 and 1998.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Zulum said he would work on strengthening the relationship between the University of Ibadan and University of Maiduguri.<\/div>\n
