The Federal Government formally re-opened two major roads in Borno State on Sunday, following the total defeat of Boko Haram in the North-East by the Nigerian military.

The two roads are the Maiduguri-Gubio-Damasak road and the Maiduguri-Mungono-Baga road.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, and his counterpart in the Ministry of Defence, Brig.-General Mansir Dan-Ali (rtd), Service Chiefs, Borno State Governor Kashim Shetimma and other dignitaries graced the occasion.

The dignitaries later had lunch with the gallant troops who crushed the insurgency.

The two major roads, which were earlier closed due to the activities of the insurgents in the area, are of strategic importance to the economy of the Lake Chad region.
