Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has distributed money to about 600 families, who recently returned to Malam-Fatori in Abadam Local Government Area of the state for resettlement.
This was disclosed via a statement issued on Friday by his spokesman, Isa Gusau.
Each male head of families, who were refugees in the Niger Republic, received N10,000, while their wives and female relatives each received N5,000.
Food items comprising rice and maize grain were distributed to each of the households some weeks ago.

The food aid, according to the governor, was to sustain the returning families until the end of the rainy season when most of them are expected to harvest food crops currently growing in their farms.
Zulum added that the Borno State Government was working with security agencies and other stakeholders to return more refugees living in Bosso and other parts of the Niger Republic to Malam-Fatori for dignified resettlement.
Malam-Fatori was a stronghold of Boko Haram from 2014 until last year when it was fully liberated by the Nigerian military.
