Gov Mai Mala Buni of Yobe on Thursday commended youths for shunning the nationwide protest in the state, which is recovering from protracted security challenges.

Buni, in a statement issued by  his Director-General Press and Media Affairs Alhaji Mamman Mohammed in Damaturu, appreciated the youth for heeding his call to shun the “needless” protest.

“ l am happy we are working on the same page, we clearly understand our situation, the state is just picking its pieces and we can not afford to accommodate anything that will draw us backwards.

“The good people of Yobe and especially our vibrant youth have shown great love, concern and patriotism to the state by adhering to calls against joining the protest.

“ With such understandings, government would continue to execute people-oriented policies and programmes to improve the lives of the people,” he said.

The governor pledged to expand policies and programmes to cover more beneficiaries to promote economic growth and development.

He said, “ we recently launched the massive agricultural empowerment programme to enhance agricultural production, ensure food sufficiency and security in the state.

“As you are aware 20 farmers from each of the 178 political wards are benefitting from the empowerment programme, this is in addition to the employments government offered to our youths in all the political wards.”

He further assured that the state government would ensure that Yobe becomes a role model in both rain-fed and irrigation agricultural production.

He emphasized that with the level of understanding between the government and its people, the state would enjoy more people-oriented policies to improve the lives of residents.
