Governor Mai-Mala Buni of Yobe State has said the North East region was going through a hard time, but it will bounce back.
Speaking during a Gala to mark the end of the North East Governors’ meeting in Gombe State, Buni said: “We are optimistic that there will soon be enduring peace in the region due to the remarkable progress being made in the fight against insurgency.
“For the first time, Governors in North East came together to take a common position and confront the challenges of the region as leaders.
“We discussed other regional challenges bordering on the economy and infrastructure.
“We will overcome all the challenges facing the region, which made it the most backward in the country in sha Allah.”
