The ceremony was held today Sunday, August 25, 2024 at the Governor’s Office, Musa Usman State Secretariat, Maiduguri.

A statement from Abdurrahman Ahmed Bundi, Zulum’s Senior Special Assistant on New Media who is also the Compendium’s Deputy Editor, highlighted that the publication includes news reports, analyses, features, columns, commentaries, discourses, editorials, selected speeches, and scorecard on the fifth year of Professor Zulum’s tenure as Governor of Borno State, from May 29, 2023 to May 29, 2024.

The compendium series was initiated by Zulum’s late spokesperson, Malam Isa Gusau, who assembled a team to work all year round for the compilation. The team collates and compiles relevant news and media discourses that shaped decisions, policies, and programmes during the tenure of his principal in office to document history and the process of governance.

The latest compendium is the fifth in the series. It is a 307-page document with 22 sections, including a Scorecard on Zulum’s performance in his fifth year as Governor, as well as President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima’s visits to commission innovative people-oriented projects in Borno State.

Two newspaper editorials from different media organisations also eulogise the Governor’s legacies in the education sector and compassionate interventions to mitigate the high cost of living, resulting from the fuel subsidy removal.

The sectoral compilation in the “5th Verdict” comprise 25 stories on Zulum’s humanitarian engagements, 21 news articles and discourses on security, 7 stories on resettlement and reconstruction, 13 news and features on transport, infrastructure and energy, 27 on education, and 9 on healthcare.

Since the public presentation of the “First Verdict”, Zulum’s media aides and associates have sustained the release of subsequent series to coincide with his birthday.
