“I made the decision to confirm him as substantive SSG in recognition of his hard work and loyalty, and because he fully shares in my vision for the state, a vision borne of my total commitment to make Yobe a better place for all its people.
“As chief adviser to me and coordinator of government activities, this is a vision that he will work for and seek to accomplish every single day,” Mr Buni said.
“The newly appointed permanent secretaries and the member of the State Pilgrims Commission also possess outstanding qualities in their respective capacities as public servants.
“Their appointments are well deserved and, together with the SSG, I have no doubt they would strive to justify the confidence I have in them and that the people of our state have in them.
