The state of Borno is home to rural settlements. The nomads we have are the Shuwas, the Kanuris, and the Fulanis. Our traditions and cultures are the same. As a result, I implore everyone in Borno to uphold the law and make sure they coexist peacefully,” Zulum said once more.

Additionally, the governor gave assurances that the state government is taking all essential steps to stop conflicts between Fulani herders and farmers in Borno.
