Yobe State Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, has called on politicians, public office holders, and other public-spirited individuals in the state to emulate the community development model of Alhaji Balarabe Abdullahi DJ.
The Governor made the call on Sunday during the commissioning of a Ruga settlement project built by Alhaji Balarabe DJ, located about seven kilometres from Nguru town.
Governor Buni commended Alhaji Balarabe for his exemplary service.
He added that, “I must commend and appreciate Alhaji Balarabe on behalf of the good people of this community, Nguru Local Government, Yobe State, and indeed Nigeria, for his exemplary service,” he said.
“We have seen the transformative multiplier effect of his initiative—particularly the school, the clinic, and the housing provided for the Ruga settlement. This is highly commendable.”
The Governor also commissioned a Sesame seed processing factory in Machina, built by his administration.
“I am highly delighted to be here. The structure is impressive, and what we are witnessing represents a true battle for the prudent utilization of our resources.
“The investment in establishing this processing factory is justified by its clear purpose, and we are thoroughly impressed. We urge the community to make optimal use of this facility.”
He described the factory as one of several development “forts” established across Yobe State now being commissioned. “Earlier today, we also commissioned the Balarabe Project,” he added.
The Governor then issued a direct appeal: “I, therefore, call on other public-spirited individuals to emulate his noble example and complement the efforts of the government.”
The Governor emphasized the need for private sector partnership to bolster the state’s development agenda.
