Since the start of Ramadan on June
17th the Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, has thrown a lavish
breakfast party everyday for elite individuals in Maiduguri according to
sources.
This breakfast party is held everyday
despite the desperate financial state in Borno, which has been exacerbated by
routine terrorist attacks by Boko Haram.
The Borno State House of Assembly
recently cut down the number of aides Governor Shettima has from 40 to 20 in an
effort to control outrageous expenses from the State government.
Recently Governors from other
northern States, including Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State and Governor
Ganduje of Kano State, have taken measures to control spending by their State
governments which include eliminating the State-sponsored Ramadan breakfast.
