Daya said, For over forty years we have been appealing to the past governments to construct us this road, but it was not done until the government of Mai Mala Buni came to power. Therefore, the entire people of the Goya district have commended Governor Buni for his transformative leadership, which is really touching the lives of all the citizens of Yobe State.
Alhaji Musa Garba Daya made the commendation in Daya town while speaking to newsmen. He reiterated Buni’s administration’s commitment to rebuilding Yobe’s infrastructure, economy, and human capital. Adding that, still we are requesting more roads, such as a road from Daya to Janga to Yalwa and up to Boza.
The district head, with kudos to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Fika and Chairman of the Yobe State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Dr. Muhammad Ibn Abali Muhammad Idrisa CON, CFR, for appointing him as the new district head of Goya, noted that the position he inherited from his late father, Alhaji Garba Abdullahi Daya. (May his soul rest in peace), Ameen, and was made best on merit.
He revealed that what the royal father did to him and the entire people of the Goya district, they will never forget him up to the end of their lives and pray to Almighty Allah to protect him and give him good health, long life, and prosperity, and urge the people of the area to live in peace with one another.
According to him, what the people of Kukar-Gadu did last week is a welcome development; they made unveiling the potentials of Kukar-Gadu, as well as the presentation of the Kukar-Gadu physical development plan, and called on the people of the Goya district to emulate what the people of Kukar-Gadu did.
He challenged everyone in the Goya district to create something tangible that our people will benefit from, because most of our young men and women are staying idle with no work to do, and called on the people of the area to always continue praying for peace, adding that, without peace, there is no development.
The district head also solicits the support and cooperation of the people of the area to pray towards the development of Goya district, Fika emirate council, Fika local government area, and Yobe state at large.
