Mr Shettima arrived in Borno State to open a range of new infrastructure projects aimed at boosting the region’s health and education sectors. The 400‑bed teaching hospital at the state‑owned Kashim Ibrahim University was one of the key facilities unveiled during the visit.
In addition to the hospital, the ceremony also marked the inauguration of the Yerwa Practice Mega School in Maiduguri. The new school is designed to provide expanded educational opportunities for local children and to support the state’s broader development agenda.
Mr Shettima’s presence in Borno underscores the government’s commitment to addressing the long‑standing needs of the area, which has been affected by years of conflict and limited access to public services.
While the focus of the event was on the new facilities, the broader aim is to improve health outcomes and educational attainment across the state, helping to rebuild communities and create sustainable growth.
