Gov Zulum inaugurates international cattle market in Banki
Gov. Babagana Zulum of Borno, on Monday, inaugurated an international cattle market in Banki as part of his administration’s economic recovery efforts in the state.
“This market now serves as a vital hub for trade between Borno State, the Far North Region of Cameroon, and Chad,” the governor said at the inauguration in Banki Town.
The international cattle market is located in Bama Local Government Area of Borno.
The facility has a 1.8km perimeter fence, 12 large and three ruminant sheds as well as lock up shops, among others.
He said the revitalisation of the market remained his administration’s priority considering its role in the restoration of livelihood and the acceleration of the economic recovery in conflict affected areas.
Also speaking, Midjiyawa Bakari, the governor of the Far North Region of Cameroon, commended the initiative for fostering regional economic cooperation.
The Shehu of Bama, Umar Ibn Kyari, and the chairman of the Bama Reconstruction Committee, Lawan Wakilbe, praised the governor for restoring the Cattle Market in the community.
