The United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, Resident Representative, Mohamed Yahya has lauded Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni for revamping the health and education sectors.
Yahya, who led a high-powered delegation to the State on Tuesday, stated this after a facility tour of the 375-bed capacity Maternity and Child healthcare complex.
The visiting UNDP representative noted that the two pillars of Governor Buni’s development agenda- investing in health and education, were in line with the Sustainable Development Goals’ Programme.
“The investment in the health sector is pretty impressive and Yobe State is back on the path of development after the devastation by insurgency”, he said.
Buni said his administration embarked on massive reconstruction of the facilities to speed up the reconstruction, rehabilitation and recovery programme following the destruction by Boko Haram insurgency.
“It is gratifying that as of today, all the displaced communities in the State, except Mallundunari community in Gujba Local Government Area, have returned and resettled”, Buni said.
The Governor appreciated the federal government and the development partners for supporting the recovery programme of the State government.
