From, Sani Gazas Chinade Damaturu

Yobe State Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni has attributed the successes recorded in the state in the last three years to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for increasing the revenue allocation of sub-national governments in the country.

Governor Bunu stated this in Abuja while hosting Abuja based Yobe indigenes, saying, except for the rise in the federal allocation to the state, Yobe state wouldn’t have achieved this much in infrastructural development in the last three years.

The Governor stated that, President Tinubu has special interest in Yobe state, “just recently, he announced the take-over of the Muhammadu Buhari International Cargo airport, Damaturu, indicating interest to refund the state the cost of construction to undertake more people-oriented projects, therefore, our best is to ensure his victory in the 2027 election, in the interest of our state”.

He urged Yobeans outside the state to show interest and participate in the affairs of the state for effective collaboration to improve the lives of the people and fast-track development in the state.

“I am pleased with your individual accomplishments, you are great ambassadors of the government and people of the state, and doing us proud.

“I wish to extend the government’s hands of fellowship for a functional collaboration and partnership to move our dear state forward.

“This is a platform that gives every citizen of the state the opportunity to participate, collaborate and harness the rich livestock, agricultural and mineral resources Yobe State is endowed with for a prosperous future” Gov. Buni added.

Dr Mohammad Goje, Secretary to the State Government, in his welcome address, commended the Abuja based Yobeans for honouring the invitation saying, it is indicative of their willingness to partner the government for a better Yobe State.

“I am particularly happy that the attendance cut across all sectors. It also shows your faith in the government and willingness to support the government in moving the state forward.

“The cream of outstanding professionals, academicians, development strategists and successful members of the private sector, gives Yobe state and its people a great hope for a prosperous future.

“This engagement therefore provides the opportunity to collectively come together to use our resources in tapping our potentials in the interest of the state” Goje said.

Baba Dala SAN, who spoke on behalf of the Abuja based Yobeans commended Governor Buni for the initiative which has given every Yobean in Abuja a true sense of belonging.

“Your Excellency, you have made history, you have given us a sense of recognition, this is the only administration that has ever recognized its citizens outside the state.

“We will reciprocate this gesture by actively participating and collaborating with the state government to move the state forward” Dala assured.
