Yobe state Governor, His Excellency, Hon. Mai Mala Buni CON, is taking proactive measures to ensure the security and safety of the state’s borders. Following the recent state Security Council meeting in Damaturu, Governor Buni is set to meet with the Chiefs of Army and Air staff to discuss critical security issues.
