The Yobe State Government says it has recorded major achievements in housing delivery and economic development under Governor Mai Mala Buni, reshaping urban infrastructure and improving social welfare across the state.

The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Mohammed Goje, disclosed this during a celebration marking Governor Buni’s seven years in office, highlighting progress in housing and urban development.

Over 2,350 Housing Units Delivered Across Yobe

According to the government, the administration has implemented an ambitious housing programme that has delivered more than 2,350 housing units across the state.

A major component of the initiative is the construction of 1,000 housing units in Damaturu, which has significantly transformed the state capital and expanded access to residential accommodation.

The government said the project is designed to support urban expansion and improve living conditions for residents.

50% Housing Subsidy for Citizens

Dr. Goje noted that the administration introduced a 50 percent housing subsidy to make home ownership more affordable for low- and middle-income earners.

The policy has reportedly increased access to housing, strengthened social stability, and improved public confidence in government housing initiatives.

Economic Diversification Through Key Projects

Beyond housing, the administration has focused on economic diversification through investments in commerce and industry.

Key projects include the Damaturu Modern Market and the ongoing Damaturu City Mall, both of which are expected to stimulate trade, create jobs, and attract private investment.

Industrial Growth and Job Creation

The government also highlighted progress in industrial development, including the establishment of processing facilities such as a Sesame Cleaning, Processing and Packaging factory.

These initiatives are aimed at boosting agricultural value chains, increasing productivity, and creating employment opportunities for residents.

Long-Term Development Strategy

Dr. Goje said the administration’s investments in housing and industry are part of a broader strategy to improve living standards and promote sustainable development.

He added that the government remains committed to expanding urban infrastructure, strengthening economic diversification, and ensuring long-term prosperity for future generations in Yobe State.
