The Yobe State Executive Council, chaired by Governor Mai Mala Buni, has approved and ratified a massive ₦73,323,775,914.05 in projects and services. The capital package includes ₦28.53 billion for the 2026 mega agricultural empowerment programme, ₦4.93 billion for the Buni-Yadi Modern Motor Park and Grains Market, ₦5.68 billion for the Damaturu Modern Motor Park, ₦3.94 billion for a new shopping mall in Buni-Gari, ₦21.90 billion for the rehabilitation of the 45km Kalallawa-Kaliyari road, and ₦2.07 billion for the Damagum-Gubana road.
A lack of modern agricultural tools, degraded regional roads, and poor market logistics restrict rural trade, increase food inflation, and limit smallholder farmer incomes. Deploying large-scale public investments into agricultural mechanization and constructing standard regional transport hubs lowers transit costs, boosts non-oil revenue collections, and directly improves the living standards of rural populations.
This comprehensive capital program highlights a disciplined approach to public finance management, spatial planning, and commercial asset optimization. By combining hard transport infrastructure with direct agricultural inputs and public-private partnerships (such as the hotel conversion of the Yobe Liaison Office in Kaduna), the administration builds institutional capacity to sustain long-term economic growth.
