The Borno state governor Babagana Zulum has reopened the Gamboru International cattle market which was closed for about 7 years as a result of Boko Haram insurgency.
The market is located in Gamboru, a commercial border town in Ngala Local Council Area of the state.
Governor Zulum who is currently in Ngala for a two day humanitarian visit expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Nigerian military, the Police, the Department of State Security and other paramilitary security agencies for liberating and securing many parts of Borno State which made it possible for the market to be reopened.
He however warned cattle dealers and anyone associated with the market never to condone or support the use of the market by criminal elements to jeopardize security successes recorded.
The market which is back to live is expected to provide direct and indirect means of livelihoods to residents of Gamboru and other communities.
