Gov Zulum also told the ministry of science, technology and innovation to work with ministries of education, higher education, information and the government house press unit towards the creation of public Internet access centres and e-libraries across the 27 local government areas ‎to increase access for jobs seekers and enhance reading culture of students.

Nearly a million people have been displaced by a decade of Boko Haram insurgency in the state and economic activities grounded. Mostly affected according to reports by the state government are the youths, artisans and farmers.
