The Deputy Governor of Yobe State, Alhaji Idi Barde-Gubana, on Thursday assured that the state government would continue to invest in various cultural festivals.
Barde-Gubana, who is also the Wazirin Fune, gave the assurance in Damaturu when Alhaji Saleh Mohammad, the district head of Jalam in Misau Local Government Area of Bauchi, paid him a courtesy visit.
He said the investment was necessary considering the high correlation between cultural festivals and peaceful coexistence of the people.
