General Theophilus Danjuma (retd.) and other philanthropic organisations, to speed up work on the reconstruction of Bama Local Government Area and other liberated communities to encourage internally displaced persons, IDPs, to return to their homes.
The monarch, however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian Army, other security agencies and men of the Civilian JTF for their unrelenting efforts in degrading remnants of the insurgents in the North-East sub-region.
The Shehu spoke, yesterday, in Bama at the official launch of the reconstruction and rehabilitation of 10 public structures in partnership with the Nigerian Foundation for Support of Victims of Terrorism, NFSVT, and the state government.
Alhaji Elkanemi commended Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State for kick starting the rebuilding of Bama town through the Commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement, Professor Babagana Zullum, and appealed to corporate individuals and organisations to contribute towards the rebuilding process, as peace had gradually returned.
Speaking, General Danjuma, represented by Ambassador John Gana, said VSF was committed to the plights of victims of insurgency and other related violence in the country.
