Second Term: As Gov. Buni Sets Agenda for Yobe Cabinet
By Yusuf Ali, Damaturu
“The people of Yobe state have reinvested their faith in us, we must strive to justify their confidence in us by meeting their dreams and expectations” was the statement Governor Buni emphasized while swearing-in the newly appointed Commissioners at the Government House, Damaturu.
The Governor followed his words with actions that showed that he really meant business and that truly, it is not going to be business as usual.
Setting agenda for the new appointees during the retreat in Kano two days after they were inaugurated, the Governor made it point clear as he sets the tone for their responsibilities and expectations with emphasis on driving positive change and making significant contributions to the state, the people and the overall development of the State, stressing that their stay in office will be determined by performance.
Specifically, Governor Buni told them point blank that his government would not tolerate indiscipline, indolence, corruption or sharp practices, non-productivity, and poor performance.
True to his words, the Governor assemble highly resource persons drawn from the academia and public service to bring the Commissioners on the same page to share his vision, living up to their responsibiliies and what is expected of them in the second term.
The Governor didn’t stop at that as he further outlined an 11-point agenda to be rapidly pursued by his administration for the acceleration of the development of the state.
This all-encompassing agenda consists of Security, Education, Health, Agriculture, Commerce and Industry, Infrastructure, Mass Housing, Water Resources and Environment, Wealth Creation, Poverty Reduction, and Empowerment, Governance and Accountability, and Law and Order.
With the setting agenda for the cabinet, and the Governor’s actions and activities pointing to his priorities, it is now evident that Yobe people will begin to see more and witness aggressive dividends of democracy and more manifestations of Buni’s electioneering promises for the state and her people.
