The “First Hundred Days” is an American political tradition that the rest of the world has adopted. It is designed to allow both the people in government and the people who are governed to pause for a moment and take stock of the early milestones that newly inaugurated governments have recorded.
For instance, just a few weeks into his administration, the governor declared a state of emergency on basic and secondary education, which constitute the nucleus of learning and growth. A state of emergency is a strategy that suspends the familiar ways of doing things and recognises the need for unconventional, bold ways to achieve rapid results.
The committee submitted its report to Governor Buni who promised to study the recommendations and begin immediate implementation.
Nevertheless, Governor Mai Mala Buni has gone beyond sharpening the axe in many areas of governance. He has already chopped down many trees these past 100 days. For example, his acknowledgement of the centrality of agriculture has caused him to order the sale of 360 trailer truckloads of fertilizer to farmers at very affordable rates. In conjunction with the local government councils, the governor has also procured 100 tractors for use by farmers across the state.
Governor Buni is also said to be exploring a partnership with the Sukuk Fund to build the very first modern market in Damaturu. When completed, it would be Damaturu’s first modern market in its 28 years as a state capital. Reports say that this will be replicated in Potiskum, Gashu’a, Nguru, Gaidam, and Buni-Yadi Towns.
