Story from Sa’adatu MAINA, Damaturu
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has on Wednesday led a team of officials from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to Mandunari Community of Gujba local government area to assess the level of destruction caused by the activities of Boko Haram insurgents with a view of rebuilding the village.
At the arrival of the Governor to the village, people of the community jubilated over the Governor’s visit.
While at the village, Governor Mai Mala Buni expressed joy for the peaceful atmosphere being enjoyed by the residents of the community after the devastation caused by insecurity in the previous years.
Governor Buni said the aim of the visit is to assess the village and get first-hand information on how to replicate the Ngarannam Model towards rebuilding the community and subsequently resettling its residents.
The Governor also inspected the Government Secondary School Goniri where he completed his secondary education.
In his remarks shortly after the inspection, the UNDP Resident Representative, Mr. Muhammad Yahya, lauds the resilience of the people of the Mandunari and Goniri Communities.
He noted that the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) would continue to support Yobe State Government in its drive towards rebuilding the insurgency affected communities in the state.
On arrival, the governor was received by the Chairman of Gujba Local Government Council, Alhaji Dala Mala, accompanied by the Emir of Gujba Mai Mukhtar Ibn Ali Gangaran among other Dignitaries.
Report on the development reached on Mundunari is positive and wellcome but incomplete, iam blaming my journalist friends for that in the sense that only someone from Mundunari knows where is the village located, there is nothing in the report to indicate the location at which local government area etc.
Sad but more sadly is the failure of editors to ask reporters for deeper information.
