The governor made this known while flagging off the distribution of Presidential Emergency Food and Nutrition items at the Banquet Hall of Government House in Damaturu, noting that the intervention demonstrates the Federal Government’s commitment to supporting vulnerable Nigerians and strengthening food security.

Governor Buni expressed profound appreciation to President Tinubu for what he described as compassionate leadership and timely support to vulnerable populations, particularly at a time when many households.

He noted that the collaboration between the Federal Government and Yobe State Government reflects a shared commitment to improving the wellbeing of citizens and advancing recovery efforts in communities affected by insurgency.

“The Yobe state government sincerely acknowledge with gratitude the support and interventions from Mr President and the Federal Government, which have enabled states like ours to respond more effectively to the needs of our people.”

According to the governor, the intervention also aligns with the state’s broader humanitarian and recovery agenda aimed at restoring dignity, promoting livelihoods and supporting displaced and vulnerable populations across the state.

Buni highlighted that the Yobe State Government has taken decisive steps to strengthen humanitarian coordination, including the development of a State Policy on Internally Displaced Persons, which he said has positioned Yobe as a model for the resettlement, rehabilitation and reintegration of displaced persons with dignity.
