Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has urged senior government officials to promote teamwork and utilize their expertise to drive the state’s development.
Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony of newly appointed senior officials, including Board Chairmen, Permanent Members, and Permanent Secretaries at the Government House, Damaturu, the governor emphasized that the appointments were based on merit, diligence, and loyalty, in line with his administration’s commitment to good governance.
