The United Nations Development Programme Resident Representative, Mohamed Yahya, has lauded Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni for developing health and education to move the state forward.
Yahya stated this in Damaturu Tuesday after a facility tour of the 375-bed capacity maternity and child healthcare complex.
“The two pillars of Governor Buni’s development agenda, investing in health and education are 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 the insurgency,” he said.
