Governor Yahaya commended the ministry’s school feeding programme.
Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya, has sought the support of the ministry of humanitarian affairs in his determination to strenthen the state’s social inclusion programmes while battling insurgency.
He also made a case for the expansion of the school feeding programme in Gombe to accommodate the rising enrollment figures as a result of the state of emergency he declared on education. “Gombe, being at the center of the North-east subregion is experiencing the influx of people fleeing insurgency in the neighbouring states, thereby overstretching the state’s resources in the process,” he said.
The governor also sought for the inclusion of Gombe in the National Emergency Management Agency’s agricultural intervention in the North-east.
