The Minister, spoke on Tuesday, April 19, at a post-insurgency rebuilding conference tagged: “First Annual Dialogue on Rebuilding Borno” organized by the state government in collaboration with AOA Global in Abuja.
He said the rebuilding efforts expected to start soon, would be launched in Borno, and would lead to the establishment of a trauma centre in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
In the next 100 days, he said, some children would be picked by the ministry from the over 200,000 in various IDPs in the North-east.
The minister told the gathering that there had been a “great level of disconnect” between the federal government and the North-east states, as his recent visit to Yobe State was the first by any health minister in since the state’s creation.
