Yobe govt begins rebuilding of Boko Haram most-attacked town
For the first time in many years, residents of Buni-Yadi, an agrarian community, made popular by the Nigeria Railways terminus rolled out drums to rent the air with jubilation as the new governor’s motorcade drove through the streets to supervise the already commenced township roads projects.
For over four years, the local government administration operated outside the community as the council office remained closed. The road and drainage project is being built on direct labour basis by the Yobe State Ministry of Works and Transport at the total cost of N673, 455, 140.00. Mr Buni implored the residents of Buni Yadi to exercise patience with the inconveniences that may be caused by the ongoing construction works. He said the people should ensure they take ownership of the drainage by maintaining them once completed.
Mr Buni had also visited the Buni-Yadi General Hospital that was also destroyed, where the Victim Support Fund started work on, but stopped before completion. The chairman, Gujba local government, Kyari Batrama, thanked the governor for the project and called for more security for the Local Government Area.
