Gamboru

Gamboru is a town located in Borno State, northeastern Nigeria, near the border with Cameroon. It is part of the Ngala Local Government Area.

Gamboru is primarily an agricultural and trading center. Its proximity to the Cameroon border makes it a significant hub for cross-border trade, particularly in agricultural goods, livestock, and other commodities. The town serves as a market for farmers from surrounding areas, both in Nigeria and Cameroon.

In recent years, Gamboru has been heavily impacted by the Boko Haram insurgency. The town has been the target of numerous attacks, leading to significant displacement of its population and disruption of economic activities. The presence of the Nigerian military and other security forces has been increased in the area in an effort to combat the insurgency. However, the security situation remains precarious.

The population of Gamboru has fluctuated considerably due to the security situation, making precise demographic figures difficult to obtain. Prior to the insurgency, it was a relatively populous town for the region.

Access to Gamboru can be challenging due to the security situation and the poor condition of some roads. The town's infrastructure has also suffered damage from the conflict. Humanitarian organizations have been working to provide assistance to the residents of Gamboru and the surrounding areas.
