The Victims Support Fund (VSF) on Thursday flagged-off a N1.6 billion reconstruction project in three communities destroyed by Boko Haram in Borno State.

The three communities are in Gwoza, Mobba and Ngala local governments.
Officials of the Borno State Government, led by Governor Kashim Shettima, were in the war wrecked town of Gwoza, headquarters of Gwoza Local Government Area, where the flag off ceremony was held.

The vice chairman of the Victims Support Fund (VSF), Tijjani Tumsa, handed over the trucks of building materials to the Borno governor.

Mr Tumsa, representing the VSF Chairman, Theophilus Danjumma, said the reconstruction of the three local government headquarters “is fully funded by VSF.”
 
He pointed out that the actual rebuilding aspect “will be executed by the Borno State Government through the Borno State Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RRR).
Mr Tumsah said the VSF is committed to supporting victims of the devastations of the Boko Haram insurgency.

“The VSF is optimistic that the reconstruction project in three LGAs will help to further restore governance institutions while restoring life to normalcy for the people.”
He noted further that by the completion of this project, VSF would have carried out reconstruction in nine local governments in Borno State.

And these local governments, comprising Dikwa, Bama, Chibok, Damboa, Askira Uba, Hawul, Gwoza, Mobbar and Ngala are spread in the three senatorial zones of the state.
