Governor orders Bet9ja, Nairabet agents to leave state

Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima yesterday said the state government will take proactive measures in addressing the adverse effects of online gambling as well as drug and substance abuse among others.

Shettima stated this while speaking at the 14th Annual Ramadan Lecture organized by Borno Radio Television Corporation in Maiduguri on Sunday.

“I have given directives to all Bet-Naija and Nairabet agents in the state to leave immediately. Drug and substance abuse gives birth to all immoral vices hence government’s determination to fight all forms of social vices,” Shettima vowed.

The governor enjoined Muslims to unite for the common cause of salvaging the state.


Dr. Umar Alkali, in his lecture titled “Education for Girl Child and responsibility of Muslims” implored Muslims to invest in the education of orphans and vulnerable ones for future prosperity.
