FG to declare 2 sites as national monuments in Borno

The Federal Government is to declare two sites in Borno as national monuments as part of Nigeria’s centenary celebrations in 2014.

The Coordinator of the National Museum in Borno, Hajiya Aisha Jidda, said this on Tuesday during a courtesy visit on Gov. Kashim Shettima in Maiduguri.



Jidda named the sites as the first Shuhe Tomb in Kukawa, Kukawa Local Government Area and the Shehu Mohammed El Kanemi Prayer House in Ngala, Gamboru Ngala Local Government Area of the state.

“It may interest you to note that since 1959 when the Rabeh’s forte was declared National Monument in the state, no other site has been declared.

“Two important sites will be declared as National Monuments to complement the 100 years of amalgamation of Nigeria in 2014,” she said.

Jidda said the enlistment of the sites would boost the tourism potentials of the state.

“Your administration has no doubt recorded tremendous achievements in all spheres of human endeavour.”

The National Museum would like to partner with you in exploring the tourism potentials of the state,” the coordinator said.
