BORNO, Maiduguri – The home of late founder of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf is to be transformed into a museum to boost tourism in Borno.
Besides, the Nigerian government will also transform the Sambisa forest, the base of the Boko Haram sect into a tourist centre. But that will happen after cessation of ongoing hostility with the Nigerian government.
Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Mohammed Bulama who made the revelation said all the things that had happened relating to the insurgency will be archived in the house of Yusuf in Maiduguri.
“We want to document and archive all that had happened so that our future generation will be able to have first hand information,” he said, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
He added they hoped to restore the Sambisa forest, where the Chibok girls were kept after being kidnapped in 2014, back into a game reserve.
“What we intend to do when stability is fully achieved is to convert the forest into a tourist centre in order to show the world what has happened,” he said.
Boko Haram sect also called Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, meaning “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad”, has spread from Nigeria into neighbouring countries, even as Nigerian government claims to be winning the war.
