Yobe State governor, Mai Buni, has congratulated Muslims on the completion of the one month Ramadan fast.
The Director-General Press, and Media Affairs to the governor, Mamman Mohammed, stated this while addressing journalists on Tuesday in Damaturu.

He expressed happiness with the feeding programmes provided by the state government, individuals, and corporate organisations to orphans, indigent families, and vulnerable groups.

“I wish to use this opportunity to appeal to the good people of Yobe, especially our energetic youths to take advantage of this intervention to explore, exploit and expand the agricultural potential in your various communities. Our government is committed to making agriculture productive, attractive, and profitable in the state. This is to promote food sufficiency and security in the state,” he said.
