In what appears to be Nigeria’s most dramatic “return on investment” complaint yet, a man on Thursday stormed the All Progressives Congress (APC) national secretariat in Abuja with a message as blunt as it was unsettling: reward me or kill me.

Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has disclosed that the state government will Subsidise the cost of petrol to farmers in communities affected by Boko Haram insurgency.

This is aimed at cushion the financial implications faced by farmers in communities that have suffered economic and infrastructural destruction due to years of conflict.
Zulum remarked that a similar initiative implemented in Damasak, Mobar Local Government Area, last year had significantly increased food production and improved livelihoods.
