To fast track major reconstruction, rehabilitation and resettlement works which was flagged off today, September 21, Governor Kashim Shettima has temporarily relocated his office to Bama town with his close aides.

"My office is now here. I decided to relocate here to live here and supervise reconstruction works," the Governor said.

"I will administer Borno State from here. I am fully prepared to be here for days to come, one week, two weeks or even more. I will not leave until we are able to rebuild a good number of private houses, municipal buildings, markets, schools and clinics. I want the reconstruction work to take proper shape before I leave.

We cannot wait till forever before we reclaim our destiny. Bama is the one of the worst affected areas and we will move from here to other parts of the State. While I am here, we have a full structure of Government in place operating in Maiduguri so that activities of managing IDP'S, civil service, implementation of Government policies and programmes will continue while I am here. I will be in constant touch with Maiduguri, I came prepared"
