The N2.93 billion economic growth stimulant disbursed to beneficiaries recently in Yobe State is to hasten the pace of recovery and repositioning of the state for post-insurgency prosperity.
This also applied to the multi billion Naira agricultural empowerment programme, launched at the beginning of this year’s cropping season.
The state’s governor, Mai Mala Buni, made this clarification in Maiduguri, Wednesday, December 11, after commissioning a 500-unit housing estate named after Borno State government.
Buni revealed further: “We have invested heavily in education, Healthcare delivery, agriculture, and empowerment for sustainable means of livelihood to give the state and its people a promising future.”
He expressed profound gratitude to Governor Zulum for inviting him to commission some of his legacy projects.
“This reflects the excellent age-long brotherhood that exists between our dear states and people,” Buni maintained, remarking, “I deeply appreciate this recognition and honour.”
He recalled the age-old relationship of amity between Borno and Yobe states, recalling, “We are a people binded by the same culture and tradition that are simply demarcated for administrative convenience.”
