Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni has met with the executive chairmen of the 17 local government areas to review their activities and performance, especially in the areas of security, education and internally generated revenue (IGR).
The governor who was represented by his deputy, Hon Idi Barde Gubana, emphasised the importance of embracing peace among the communities.
The meeting focused on security matters in education, revenue generation and review on the crisis between the farmers and herders in the rural areas.
Buni also warned the local government chairmen to consider security as the number one priority and give maximum support to security agencies in their respective local governments.
On education, he said there will be no meaningful development that could be achieved without education. He further directed them to intensify supervision in all the schools and report any progress.
He equally advised them to improve their revenue generation and block any holes of corruption for the betterment of the local government.
The governor said a report from the local government indicated that most of the local government staff are not reporting to their duty post, late coming and early closing, saying henceforth this attitude will not be tolerated.
He said the local government plays a key role in community development by providing services and promoting civic engagement, as it is the government closest to the masses.
He urged them to intensify the monthly prayers for peace and stability in the state.
