Mr. Shettima, who is governorship candidate from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, is trying to lessen economic hardship that is bedeviling Borno people as a result of the insurgency.
More than 2000 households in Bayo and Kwaya Kusar Local Government Areas of Southern Borno State had so far benefited from assorted food items distributed by governor.
Each household was given a bag of rice, a bag of maize and a gallon of cooking oil.
The smile on the faces of the beneficiaries speaks volumes.

Borno state, which is in the north-east of Nigeria bordering on Chad and Cameroon, has been at the front position of Boko Haram attacks in recent months.
The insurgents have taken a number of cities and are reported to control large parts of the state.
Boko Haram controls large areas of Borno state but in recent months has also carried out cross-border raids into Chad, Cameroon and Niger.
The three countries have joined Nigeria to form a military coalition, which has reclaimed several towns and villages in recent weeks.
