The Bororo community, who have been living in a makeshift tents earn their living on sales of herbs and working as local security on properties of government and the rich.
It was gathered that, governor Kashim Shettima was moved by their plights during one of his visits on inspection of ongoing construction, thereby decided to give their children education under the Borno state government scholarship.
