Chairman caretaker management committee of Fune local government area of Yobe state, Alhaji Baba Goni Bade, gave kudos to governor Mai Mala Buni CON, Chiroman Gujba, for giving them the opportunity to save for another six months in office.
The chairman made the commendation while swearing in the advisers and the council members of the caretaker management committees at the council chamber in Damagum.
He urged members of the management committee to give their maximum support and cooperation to the present administration in the state under the able leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni CON.
Alhaji Baba Goni Bade thanked the party stakeholders in the local government for the numerous support they accorded to this administration and urged them to continue to pray to Almighty Allah to protect and guide us to complete our administration successfully as well as to move the local government forward.
Baba Bade called on the council members to shortlist the names of unemployment NCE and diploma holders and forward them to us so that we can send them to Damaturu for appointment as primary school teachers.
“We have about 119 existing primary schools across the local government, but we are short of primary school teachers because some of them have retired while others have died. Therefore, we need more teachers to replace them,” he added.
The chairman also thanks the security agencies, both the military and other paramilitary agencies in the area, for their frantic efforts in protecting our lives and properties day and night. They sacrifice their lives, discharge their families, and come to protect us, and we are still looking for more cooperation from them.
“We thank the staff of the local government, right from the director of personnel down to massengers. We thank you for the support and cooperation you have rendered to us. With your contribution, we have achieved a lot in our past administration.
Alhaji Baba Goni Bade maintained that the judiciary was not left behind because of the numerous support they were giving us; they dealt with and tried criminals without fear or favor. He also extends his appreciation to the members of the Yobe State House of Assembly, under the leadership of the speaker, RT. Hon. Chiroma Buba Mashio, for the support they are giving them.
