In light of the recent devastating flood disaster that struck Maiduguri metropolis and other surrounding local government areas, the Borno State Government has decided to scale down its Independence Day celebration this year.
The State Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Professor Usman Tar, announced the decision, emphasising the need for collective reflection and solidarity during this challenging time.

Tar noted that Governor Babagana Umara Zulum once again expressed deep sympathy for everyone affected and called on citizens to unite in prayers for the state and nation as a whole.
The statement quoted the Governor expressing the need to focus on supporting and standing in solidarity with those affected by the September 10 flood disaster, while celebrating the independence anniversary as well as to pray for recovery and strength, not only for Borno State but for all of Nigeria.
