Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, has rewarded a health worker, Dr Ishaku Dickson, with a fully furnished three-bedroom house in recognition of his dedication and selfless service to the people of Monguno and Borno State at large.
Governor Zulum made the presentation on Monday night during a visit to Monguno. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated the newly renovated officers’ lounge and cafeteria at the headquarters of Sector 3, Operation Hadin Kai.
Governor Zulum also approved the immediate employment of Dr Dickson’s wife into Borno State civil service. He described the actions as a deliberate effort to appreciate sacrifice, professionalism and commitment to public service.
He praised Dr Dickson, a medical doctor, for his commitment to his duties despite the challenges of working in a conflict-affected area, noting that such dedication embodies the spirit of service the state seeks to promote.
“Rewarding excellence is essential to motivating healthcare workers and strengthening service delivery, especially in hard-to-reach and high-risk communities,” Zulum stated.
“Borno State Government values integrity, dedication to work and compassion, particularly among those who serve on the front lines of healthcare,” he stressed.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum has on several occasions rewarded hardworking and committed public servants, especially those working in resettled communities, to boost their morale and encourage others to remain and provide services to the people.
