Engr Ali Goni Lawan has retired from the Borno State civil service, formally handing over as Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (MRRR) in Maiduguri after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 60.

The ceremony, held at the Conference Hall of the Data Management Centre, MRRR, brought together directors, top government officials, technical aides, political associates and staff of the ministry to honour the outgoing Permanent Secretary.

Welcoming the gathering, the Honourable Commissioner of the Ministry, Arc. Isa Garba Halidu extolled the virtues of Engr. Lawan, describing him as not only a colleague but an adopted brother.

In his farewell speech, Engr. Ali Goni Lawan expressed profound gratitude to Almighty Allah for granting him the grace to witness his retirement at the age of 60. He also paid glowing tribute to the Executive Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, for the confidence reposed in him over the years.

He recalled how the governor created a new directorate and appointed him as director, later entrusted him with the position of general manager of the electoral body, and subsequently appointed him permanent secretary of the ministry 23 months ago.

Engr. Lawan urged staff of the ministry to sustain the culture of excellence for which the RRR Ministry is known, noting that the foundation was laid under the visionary leadership of Governor Zulum when he served as the pioneer Commissioner of the ministry.

He appealed for the same cooperation and support extended to his predecessor to enable him to succeed in his new responsibility.

Dalori also urged the retiring Permanent Secretary to keep his doors open for guidance and mentorship, noting that retirement does not mean he is tired of contributing to the ministry’s growth.

Speaking on behalf of political associates from Magumeri, Alhaji Man Burin thanked Almighty Allah for Lawan’s successful career and appreciated Governor Zulum for entrusting him with various leadership roles, especially as Permanent Secretary.

In a goodwill message, Mr Bitrus Mshelia described Engr. Lawan as a leader who “came, saw and conquered", stating that he could stand tall anywhere with pride. While acknowledging that Lawan’s shoes are big to fill, he expressed confidence that Engr. Gujja Dalori would build on the foundation laid and even do better.

The Acting Director of Resettlement, Arc. Alhaji Modu B. Shehu, visibly emotional, described the day as bittersweet and prayed for Lawan’s continued good health and peace.

Former Director of Planning, Research and Statistics (DPRS), Mallam Allumai Izgeh, said he was short of words in describing Lawan’s contributions.

He advocated for a formal recognition framework for retiring staff of the ministry, including accommodation support, and called for the regularisation of qualified casual staff into permanent and pensionable positions in line with the ministry’s policies.

The Technical Assistant to the Governor in the ministry, Engr Alkali Babakolo, also lamented the retirement and urged the new Acting Permanent Secretary to emulate Lawan’s exemplary leadership while calling for special prayers for the retiree.

Speaking on behalf of female and casual staff, Ummi Asheik praised Engr. Lawan for his fairness and support, praying for long life, good health and prosperity in his future endeavours.

The Permanent Secretary, Borno state Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (MRRR), Engr.

Engr. Lawan expressed satisfaction with the quality of work seen so far but emphasized the urgency of timely delivery.

“His Excellency the Executive Governor of Borno State is relentlessly working to ensure that displaced persons are returned to their ancestral homes and other places of choice in a voluntary, dignified, and durable manner.

The Borno State Government, through its Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (MRRR), is set to commence construction on the first 50 houses of the Ruga housing project in Gubio Local Government Area this week.

This significant step follows the successful completion of a comprehensive on-site assessment, signalling the immediate rollout of a crucial initiative championed by His Excellency Governor Babagana Umara Zulum.

The Ruga project in Gubio aligns with the federal government's presidential initiative on livestock sector reform, aiming to provide much-needed housing and essential amenities that will greatly benefit the local populace.

On-Site Assessment Paves Way for Immediate Action

MRRR Permanent Secretary, Engr. Ali Goni Lawan, led a high-level delegation, including directors and senior technical staff, to Gubio to oversee the final preparations on Tuesday.

Upon arrival, the team was welcomed by the Honourable Chairman of Gubio LGA, Mali Bulama Mali Gubio, and his dedicated team at the project site.

The delegation conducted a thorough inspection of existing facilities and strategically determined the optimal location for the initial construction phase.

Engr. Lawan confirmed that the directive for the project's immediate commencement came directly from Governor Zulum, signifying the state government's commitment to swift and decisive action.

"The ministry is to commence the project under the direct orders of His Excellency Governor Babagana Umara Zulum for immediate commencement," stated Engr. Lawan.

He further announced that all necessary preparations and materials are ready, ensuring construction on the first 50 houses will begin within the week.

The Gubio Ruga project is one of three pivotal initiatives slated for implementation across Borno State. Engr. Lawan highlighted the success of a similar project in Mafa, which is already completed and occupied, while another is actively underway in Rumirgo, showcasing a consistent commitment to Ruga development.

The Gubio Ruga project is designed to be comprehensive, incorporating all necessary facilities and basic amenities to foster a functional and thriving community. Engr. Lawan emphasised the long-term vision, stating, "The MRRR is intervening to improve the facilities to make this place functional. I wouldn't say it is just 50 houses; more are coming."

He clarified that while the initial 50 houses are an intervention by the MRRR, the Ministry of Animal and Fisheries Development, where the Ruga project is domiciled, is fully informed and supportive.

Engr. Lawan assured that the project would be completed in a timely manner, reflecting Governor Zulum's well-known zeal and unwavering commitment to project ex*****on.

Meanwhile, on behalf of the local government and the appreciative people of Gubio LGA, Honourable Chairman Mali Bulama Mali Gubio extended profound gratitude to His Excellency Governor Babagana Umara Zulum.

MRRR Commissioner Inspects Key Resettlement Projects in Dalwa, Gajiganna, and Karnawa

As part of Borno State’s ongoing post-conflict recovery efforts, the Commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (MRRR), Arc. Isa Garba Halidu, has conducted a two-day inspection tour of major housing and infrastructure projects aimed at facilitating the safe return and reintegration of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The visit—covering Dalwa in Konduga LGA and Gajiganna and Karnawa in Magumeri LGA—is in line with the vision of Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum to ensure dignified, voluntary, and sustainable resettlement in a durable solution strategy for displaced populations across the state.

Accompanied by the Permanent Secretary, Engr. Ali Goni Lawan, directors, and senior technical officers, the commissioner assessed the quality and pace of work on mass housing schemes, schools, and health infrastructure funded under the 2024 Capital Appropriation.

Dalwa: Rebuilding a Deserted Hub

In Dalwa, where a 500-unit housing estate is nearing completion, the commissioner praised the ongoing work but condemned poor standards on parts of the school and clinic buildings. He instructed contractors to make urgent corrections.

“The housing effort here reflects Governor Zulum’s vision of restoring hope and livelihoods. But we will not tolerate substandard delivery,” Arc. Halidu warned. “We must get it right—for the sake of the returnees.”

The Dalwa project also includes a school, health facility, and perimeter trenching to enhance community safety.

Gajiganna: Managing Emergency Occupation

In Gajiganna, a town hosting IDPs from Monguno, Marte, and Kukawa LGAs, the team inspected a 500-unit estate that had been occupied by victims of a previous fire disaster, leading to widespread vandalism.

The commissioner addressed the emergency occupants and urged them to cooperate with government plans to renovate and restore the facilities.

“Government is acting with compassion, but we also need to manage emergency occupation responsibly,” Halidu said. A team was directed to immediately assess damaged blocks and commence repairs.

He also visited a Federal Housing Project in Gajiganna, abandoned and deteriorating, where the Borno State Government has intervened to complete and preserve the investment.

Engr. Lawan said, “Governor Zulum directed that no federal project in Borno meant for our people should be allowed to waste.”

Karnawa: New Cluster Settlement Model

In Karnawa, the commissioner inspected the initial phase of a new 500-unit cluster settlement, strategically located to consolidate surrounding villages into a secure, serviced community.

“This initiative is about sustainability,” Engr. Lawan explained. “We’re building schools, health centres, water, and security infrastructure. The location ensures farmers can return to their farmlands and begin life anew.”

Governor Zulum has consistently emphasised the need for larger, more resilient return communities, where basic services are integrated for long-term stability.

Governor’s Commitment to Resettlement

Governor Zulum’s administration has made resettlement of IDPs a core priority, investing in durable infrastructure and transparent monitoring systems.

“The governor’s directive is clear: no shortcuts, no wastage, and every project must directly benefit our people,” said Arc. Halidu. “We remain fully committed to quality, transparency, and accountability in delivering on this mandate.”

The Ministry of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement pledged to intensify project monitoring across the state to ensure strict compliance with standards and timelines.
