Yobe State in Northeastern Nigeria is one of the states that suffered from the Boko Haram insurgency, but with the support and effort of the security agencies, things are improving a lot.
However, one of the effects of the insurgency was to destroy the local community; the people have suffered, their lives and their livelihoods were destroyed, and many have lost their loved ones.
The State Commissioner of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Information, and Culture, Hon. Abdullahi Bego, disclosed this to a team of journalists who embarked on a media tour organized by the Yobe State government across the state. The tour started with the Kannama modern market, the headquarters of the Yunusari local government area.0
Bego further said that. His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni thought that there is a need to rebuild communities to reinvigorate economic activities to ensure that people can go back to their farms and their markets to ensure that they can rebuild their lives.
“Governor Buni is providing a lot of support in terms of agriculture inputs, equipment, and fertilizer, among others, adding that when people finish from their farms, they will come to their market. That is why Governor Buni decided to establish such markets so that we have control where people can transact business.” He said.
Also briefing the journalists, the commissioner of Housing and Rural Development, Architect Ahmed Buba, said since the coming of Governor Buni on board, he has constructed 9 markets and completed five ultramodern markets across the state; these include 4 modern markets that were also constructed in Yunusari, Ngalda, Machina, and Buni Yadi.
He said Yunusari, a befitting market, comprises 96 shops, 146 open stalls, and 46 stalls, where there are houses, meat shops, an administration block, a police station, a fire service station, and a banking hall, and it will boost cross-border regional trade.
The team of journalists also visited the Machina modern market, the Gashu’a-Masaba road, and the 30-kilometer Bulanguwa-Kummagana road, and the Director of Civil Engineering, Alhaji Garba Umar, said the 30-kilometer Bulanguwa-Kummagana road will be completed in the next 10 days, inshallah.
Alhaji Garba Umar revealed that a contractor has completed clearance of one hundred percent of the space and literate base, and now the execution of asphalt for about 20 kilometers is only remaining 10 kilometers.
Malam Madu Ibrahim Yunusari has commended Governor Mai Mala Buni for constructing them a befitting modern market; these, he said, will boost their businesses as well as cross-border regional trade markets with their neighboring countries.
