By SADIQ ABUBAKAR, Maiduguri –
Ahead of May 29 Governorship inauguration in Borno State, the media team of Governor Babagama Zulum has produced a new publication titled,” PZ REVIEW- Inauguration Edition”.
The publication contains 830 pictures taken from over 700 capital projects executed by Borno State Governor Zulum, during his first term.
Editor-In-Chief of the publication, who is also the immediate past Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Communication and Public Relations , Malam Isa Gusau, revealed this in a statement made available to journalists in Maiduguri on Friday.
Malam Gusau said photographers working with the governor where brought together and assigned to go round and take photographs of key projects, even though a number of the said projects were left out due to limited space on the publication.
He commended the editorial board members especially the consulting editor, Dr. Sharafa Dauda of the Mass Communication, University of Maiduguri and the likes of Abdurrahman Ahmed Bundi, Mohammed Alhaji Gana Manga, Lawan Alhaji Mustapha, Buba Saleh and Auwal Zubairu Azah, whom he sent round to all the 27 LGAs of the state to collate the photographs of the projects.
The Editor-In-Chief also appreciated the Deputy Editors, Baba Shiekh Haruna and Lanre Onadiah as well as contributing photo editors: Habu Tijjani Kale Yajiwa, Dogo M. Shettima and Mohammed Z. Kormi.
He explained that the newest edition is the sixth publication from 2019 to date, produced on the activities of the governor by the press unit of the Government House while making copious reference from the publication’s editorial.
“We welcome you to this Anniversary Edition of PZ REVIEW!”
“This is only a photo edition. It is without published articles, commentaries or speeches. It comprises 830 photos taken from over 700 capital projects executed in the First Term of Professor Zulum’s four-year administration, from May 29, 2019 to May 29, 2023.”
“This current edition is unlike all our previous publications. As Governor Babagana Umara Zulum and his Deputy, Umar Usman Kadafur, enter their second term on May 29, 2023, we thought it might be worthwhile to pictorially compile physical projects during the first term, as we hopefully look forward to a glorious second term during which the governor aims to surpass his outstanding record.”
Meanwhile, copies of the photo-only inauguration edition of the PZ REVIEW are expected to be distributed during the swearing of Professor Zulum and his deputy on May 29, 2023, insha’Allah.
Malam Isa Gusau added that the publication, like others before it, will serve for record keeping, for preservation of Professor Zulum’s legacy and and for posterity.
