The houses, constructed by Governor Babagana Zulum, were inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari during a recent visit to Maiduguri for the 2022 World Humanitarian Day.

Presenting the houses to the beneficiaries, Lawan Wakilbe, the state Commissioner for Education, said they were selected based on merit from different schools.
