Umar Kadafur of Borno has described himself as Nigeria’s most powerful deputy governor.
Mr Buhari’s request for his nominees’ confirmation was prompted by the expiration of the tenure of the previous governing board which ended May 7.
The request is contained in a letter addressed to President of Senate, Ahmad Lawan, and read at plenary on Tuesday.
Mr Umar explained that the two repentant Boko Haram members were arrested for theft.
“This dressing code is compulsory for all Muslim female students all over our secondary schools in the state. But for the Christian female students, it is optional.”
Borno director of public health urged participants to listen attentively so they could build their capacity in responding to emergencies.
Borno students and businesspeople evacuated from Sudan along with other Nigerians have arrived in Maiduguri.
“We alerted last week that 4.3 million people in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states risk severe hunger from June to August.”
Mr Shehu quoted the president as expressing hope that his request “will receive the usual expeditious consideration and confirmation of the Senate.”
The federal government has disbursed N900 million in Borno to mitigate COVID-19 impact under the country’s Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus NG-CARES programme.
