Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe has commended the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for approving N18 billion to the state as a refund for the construction of five federal roads.
Â
Buni, in a statement by his Director-General, Press and Media Affairs, Alhaji Mamman Mohammed, in Damaturu on Thursday, pledged judicious use of the funds.
Â
He said the refund would provide the state government with opportunities to execute projects that would improve the lives of the people.
Â
“I want to specially commend Mr. President and members of the Federal Executive Council for the sense of fairness to Yobe.
Â
“The refunds would finance other projects that would impact positively on the lives of our people.
Â
“Government would direct the resources into education, healthcare delivery, water supply, employment opportunities, and other infrastructure to improve the lives of our people,” the governor said.
Â
He explained that such understanding between the state and federal governments would spur the state to commit more resources to federal projects with a direct bearing on the lives of the people.
