Governor Buni Renews Driver’s License In Yobe

Yobe State Governor Hon. Mai Mala Buni has personally renewed his national driver’s license at the Driver’s License Centre at the Yobe State Internal Revenue Service (Revenue House) in Damaturu in line with the established procedures.

Governor Buni visited the centre where he underwent biometric capture and other official requirements before being issued a temporary driver’s license pending the production of the permanent card.

By complying with the process, the governor sent a strong message on the importance of respect for the law and responsible driving, emphasising that no one is above established regulations.

Speaking after the exercise, the general manager of Yobe State Road Traffic Management Agency, Babagana Alhaji Modu, who accompanied the governor alongside the chairman of the Yobe State Internal Revenue Service, Suleiman Bakura, said the national driver’s license is not only a legal requirement but also an important instrument for safety and security.

According to him, the license serves as a secure biometric identification that confirms the competence of drivers, strengthens road safety, and supports national security efforts.

He, therefore, urged motorists across the state and the country to obtain or renew their driver’s licenses in accordance with the law.

Bature Goniri commended Governor Buni for personally complying with the process, noting that the governor’s action sends a strong message about respect for the law and responsible driving.

He added that safer roads begin with lawful and properly certified drivers, adding that responsible leadership must begin with personal compliance.

Leadership Weekend gathered that the visit also attracted attention from staff and residents at the centre, many of who commended the governor for demonstrating humility and commitment to due process.
