The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has described Borno state as Nigeria’s most resilient state, and that has mastered the art of overcoming challenges.
Idris stated this in Maiduguri, Wednesday during a courtesy call on the Deputy Governor of Borno state, Alhaji Umar Isa Kadafur, as part of activities marking the meeting of the APC Commissioners of Information Forum. 
As contained in statement released by his aide, the Minister said, “Borno is clearly Nigeria’s most resilient state, against the backdrop of the severe challenges it has experienced in the last decade”. 
The people of Borno, the Minister added, must indeed be praised by all Nigerians for their steadfastness and their ability to always bounce back from difficult situations.
“The people of Borno state symbolize the strength and the staying power that Nigerians are imbued with, and it is therefore appropriate for all other Nigerians to not only praise the citizens of the state, but speak proudly of their ability to overcome challenges,” said Idris.
