In the complex world of development finance, where donor support often gets lost in bureaucratic fog or wasted in white-elephant projects, Gombe State is doing something refreshingly different and effective.

Under the purposeful leadership of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, Gombe has transformed from a peripheral player to a magnet for donor and development partnerships. This didn’t happen by chance. It is the result of deliberate reforms, institutional coordination, and a clear development roadmap that puts people first.

Unlike the past, where donor funds arrived in silos and often evaporated without trace, today every kobo is guided by a strategy.

At the heart of this transformation is the Donor and Development Partner Coordination Office, created by the Governor to harmonize all external interventions with the state’s vision.

With a Special Adviser in charge and a mandate tied directly to the Development Agenda for Gombe State (DEVAGOM), the office ensures that no project is random, and no partner is left navigating blind. This is what governance maturity looks like.

And the results are beginning to speak.

Take the ACReSAL Project, for instance. In what is arguably one of Nigeria’s biggest erosion control efforts, a 21-kilometre gully reclamation—worth N12 billion is nearing completion. A 30-kilometre extension is being planned, alongside tree-planting, land restoration, and livelihoods support across climate-impacted communities.

In livestock development, the L-PRES Project is quietly revolutionizing the sector. Rural clinics, markets, and over 100 boreholes have been built. An ultra-modern abattoir is on the drawing board, positioning Gombe as a major player in meat processing and export.

Education isn’t left behind. Through the AGILE Project and other projects, thousands of vulnerable girls are returning to school. Scholarships, vocational centres, inclusive classrooms, and digital labs are being rolled out to empower girls not just to learn, but to lead.

In water and sanitation, agencies like RUWASSA and the SURWASH Programme are drilling boreholes and building water systems that serve remote communities with clean, safe water; improving health outcomes and restoring dignity.

These are not standalone successes. They are products of a system that works.

Development partners like UNICEF, WHO, and GAVI have praised Gombe as a state that understands accountability and delivers on promises. When GAVI concluded its MoU on primary healthcare support, Gombe took full ownership, seamlessly integrating it into the state’s health system.

What sets Gombe apart is not just infrastructure, but the software of governance. Timely counterpart funding. Medium-Term Expenditure Frameworks. Fiscal Strategy Papers. All in place. These tools send a clear signal to donors: Gombe is ready, willing, and able.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya has shown that leadership is about making systems work for people. In a country where donor funds often disappear into thin air, Gombe is showing how to turn every dollar into visible, measurable impact.

It’s a quiet revolution, but a powerful one. And it’s changing lives across Gombe, one coordinated intervention at a time.
