A Witness to Progress: Eyewitness Account Highlights the Silent Revolution in Yobe State Under Governor Buni

While much of the national discourse remains focused on post-insurgency challenges, a firsthand assessment of Yobe State reveals a massive, multi-sectoral transformation led by His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni.
Recent visits across the state’s “nooks and crannies” tell a story of a Governor working selflessly to rebuild the state’s foundation through simultaneous, high-impact projects that have largely flown under the radar of mainstream media.

Infrastructure and Economic Hubs: the administration’s “Project Everywhere” approach is evident in the construction of Ultra-Modern Markets, which are set to reposition Yobe as a commercial nerve center in the Northeast.
These are complemented by a vast network of access roads and bridges that connect rural farmers to urban consumers. The investment in factories and stadiums further demonstrates a commitment to industrialization and youth empowerment.

Perhaps the most significant achievement is the restoration of security and the return of total Peace.
Travelers arriving in Damaturu as late as 11:00 PM now report a seamless, threat-free journey—a stark contrast to years past. The sight of citizens engaging in nighttime commerce and social activities without fear is the ultimate testament to the Governor’s peace-building initiatives.

A Call for Global Partnership
To build on this foundation, stakeholders are calling for an “International Investment Drive.” With the infrastructure and security now in place, Yobe is ripe for global partnerships in agro-allied industries and manufacturing.
The state is no longer just a zone of recovery; it is a land of opportunity.
