The Nigerian military said it is ready to re-open the Maiduguri-Magumeri-Gubio and Damasak roads after three years.
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno said on Thursday when the Governor of Difa, Republic of Niger, Muhammad Dandano, paid him a courtesy call at the Government House, Maiduguri.
The roads have remained closed to vehicular traffic since 2013 when Boko Haram activities in Borno were at its peak.
He said the state government would commence reconstruction of Damasak in 2017 to enable inhabitants of the area to return to their homes.
