Abdullahi Bego, as saying that the desire of Governor Buni administration was to salvage and restore the 8,000-year-old Dufuna Canoe, which was discovered and excavated in 1998 and position it as a major tourist attraction in the state.

Bego disclosed this while meeting with the new Director General of the National Commission for Meseums and Monuments (NCMM), Mr. Olugbile Holloway, and some of his management staff in Abuja.
