“No doubts, goverment must look for alternative means of creating jobs to our teeming youth, and that is why his excellency deems it fit to give the necessary support to this endeavor.

“Consistent with the support to agricultural transformation of Borno the Governor thought it fit to travel to far away Eygpt with the aim of discussing with the Egyptians ahead the plans to set a foundation block for an endearing medical college in the new Borno state university.

“Definitely, any one keen in establishing a state of art medical college will have to look at Eygypt as a destination.
