The Digest :
Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has rewarded an Igbo health worker, Mrs. Marbel Ijeoma Duaka, with a fully-furnished house and automatic employment for her son in recognition of her decades of dedicated service.
Key Points:
- Mrs. Duaka, an Anambra State indigene, received a two-bedroom house for over 24 years of service at a Mafa Primary Healthcare Centre.
- Governor Zulum praised her for never leaving her post, even during the peak of the Boko Haram insurgency.
- He also granted her son, Anthony, a Banking and Finance graduate, immediate employment at Kashim Ibrahim University.
