Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno has been given the Second-Order National Honour, “de Grand Officer dans I`Ordre”, by President Mohammed Bazoum of the Republic of Niger.

The award reportedly is the equivalent of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger, GCON, in Nigeria’s ranking of national honours.

The Niger president according to a statement by Zulum’s aide honoured the governor after monitoring his courage and sincere fight against Boko Haram.
