There’s no doubt, Yobe State Government has been trying in terms of security of lives and properties in the state since the assumption of Hon. Mai Mala Buni CON and beyond.

Recall that in 2019, Gov. Buni donates security patrol vehicles to NDLEA, NAFDAC and other security agencies mainly to rid the state of the problem of drug abuse and the use of unwholesome products, especially among the youths.

It’s also worth to mention that the state government had also donated 30 Toyota Hilux vehicles for security surveillance to the Nigerian Police and other security agencies in the state.

The governor made the donation while constituting ‘Haba Maza Squad’ involving Nigerian Police and other security agencies aimed at ensuring peace and security across the state.

Meanwhile, we have to also commend the establishment of Operation Haba Maza as they have tried their possible best in safeguarding the state.

Unfortunately, in the recent days, there are some lingering problems that the attention of Yobe State Government has to be drawn. The issue of farmer/herder conflicts which forced many farmers harvesting unripe sorghum and other farm products in the state.

It’s found out that many farmlands were destroyed by the herders in various local government areas in the state more particularly, Gulani and Gujba. The menace is yet to be curbed despite the efforts made by the state government, traditional rulers and concerned authorities in deploying security personnel to various areas as well as constituting dialogue.

Findings also revealed that there are cases of robbing the vulnerable people inside keke, burglary and theft in the Damaturu metropolis.
