Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has gifted a fully furnished two-bedroom house to Mrs. Marbel Ijeoma Duaka, a healthcare worker from Anambra State, in recognition of her outstanding dedication and years of service to the people of Mafa. Mrs. Duaka has worked at the Mafa Primary Healthcare Centre for over 24 years, earning admiration for her resilience and unwavering commitment, especially during the height of the Boko Haram insurgency when many others fled the community. Governor Zulum, while presenting the house, praised her loyalty and compassion, describing her as a true example of professionalism and service. He noted that Mrs. Duaka remained in Mafa, caring for residents despite the risks and hardship, and even provided medical treatment to his family members, including his mother. As part of his appreciation, Zulum also offered automatic employment to Mrs. Duaka’s son, Anthony, a graduate of Banking and Finance from Kashim Ibrahim University, Maiduguri, recognizing the family’s contributions to the state’s healthcare sector. The governor’s gesture has drawn wide commendation, with many describing it as a reflection of his commitment to rewarding merit and encouraging public service dedication across ethnic and regional lines.
