From SA’ADATU MAINA, Damaturu
His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni has inspected the ongoing township road and drainage construction projects in Buni-Yadi, the headquarters of Gujba Local Government Council of Yobe state.
He also inspected an ongoing renovation and rehabilitation of the Buni-Yadi General Hospital, where the state government is committing N234 million.
Governor Buni expressed appreciation with the progress of work on the two projects but urged the contractors to hasten up, deliver on time and according to the specifications and contractual agreements.
Governor Buni noted that Buni-Yadi was one of the hardest-hit areas by the Boko Haram insurgents. He said the insurgency displaced most of the people living in the area.
He paid tribute to the people for their resilience and prayed for the security agencies for their effort in restoring peace and security.
“Five years ago, we could not stand here. In fact, this local government was taken over by the insurgents before it was liberated by the security forces. We are grateful to Almighty Allah and thank our security forces for the peace that we now enjoy.
This is why it is essential that the government provides these infrastructural facilities to help the people begin their normal life”, the governor said.
Governor Buni also drew the attention of the security agencies to the need to re-open the Buni-Yadi market, which was closed down due to security concerns.
He said re-opening the market would help to reinforce the sense of confidence and trust that the government has been trying to build among the people as they return to resume life back in their communities.
The Buni’s administration is currently undertaking new township road projects in three other towns across the state, namely Damagum, Babbangida and Jajimaji in Fune, Tarmuwa and Karasuwa Local Government areas respectively.
