The governor disclosed this when a delegation led by the Director-General of the agency, Dr Muhammad Bulama paid him a courtesy visit in Maiduguri on Monday.

“Deradicalisation through radio is very essential, therefore, we would partner with your organisation with a view to improving the means of communication to people of Borno State, especially the downtrodden,” he said.
