Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, led a delegation of North East governors to meet with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday.

The meeting, held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, focused on critical issues affecting the North East, including agent completion of 17 vital road projects and the resumption of oil exploration in the frontier wells, particularly the Kolmani and Lake Chad wells.

Other governors in attendance included Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe, Bala Muhammad of Bauchi, Mai Mala Buni of Yobe, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa and Agbu Keffas of Taraba.

Delivering his address during the meeting, Zulum, who is also the chairman of the North East Governors Forum, urged the president to complete the ongoing road projects and build critical roads connecting the six states of the zone.

The roads are Kano-Maiduguri Road, Port Harcourt-Jos-Bauchi-Maiduguri Railway line, Bama-Mubi-Yola Road, Wukari-Jalingo-Yola Road, Duguri-Mansur Road (NNPC Project Ongoing), Bauchi-Gombe-Biu-Damaturu Road, Damaturu-Geidam Road, Bauchi-Ningi-Nasaru-Babaldo Road and Gombe-Potiskum, Damaturu-Biu Roads.

Governor Zulum commended the president for the commitment to restoring peace within the northeast, stating, “We thank you for fostering peace and stability within the sub-region and continuing with the initiative of your predecessor in sustaining the fight against insurgency.

He assured the president of their commitment to his administration’s initiative on training of manpower and providing technology with a view to reversing the insecurity facing the North East.

“We are fully aligning with Mr. President's good initiative of training of manpower and providing technology with a view to reversing the ugly trend in the forest, thereby reducing the insurgency and promoting agricultural development in alignment with the renewed hope agenda on food security,” Zulum said.

He added, “Mr President, the North East governors hold you in high esteem and all of us have resolved to partner with you in your determination to provide good governance for Nigeria with a view to leaving behind lasting legacies and landmarks for the country.”

Responding, President Tinubu acknowledged the governors' concerns and assured them of his administration's commitment to addressing the developmental needs of the northeast.

Who said money can't buy happiness?


Tinubu done win re-election.

El-rufia, Atiku, Ameachi, Saraki and Dino should know that this is not 2015 when they were climbing gate.

I rest my case.

Poverty is really a bad thing.
You go on begging and living off people for so long you think that is status quo, you start to think it is the life everyone else is living. Even small me if I am visiting my big ogas, I go with a basket of fruits, a bottle of good wine, some times I even go with goat.
They are things that are bigger than money, only a poor man thinks everything is about money.
Until you stop thinking about taking from people you are not going anywhere in life.
I am sure you go to people house always expecting them to give you "transport money" you think that is the reality of everybody.
That is a dirty financial life style that takes nowhere but down.....

I think the president should be using this visit to also encourage the governors aside Zulum those guys there are just chilling in government houses especially that boy from Taraba, what's his name again? Keffas I believe.

They need to do more.
We shouldn't even be talking about state police with the amount of money they receive for security votes.
These guys cannot even set up a proper security architecture in collaboration with NPF?.

blackgold2018:
my friend is the way politics is being played in Nigeria in decades. Seems you re newbie in Nigerian political sphere.

If actually this a political game visit, it means money is already dispatched to them or a legal means will be used to dispatch the money

Exousiang01:
You are still stuck at the low level politics.
At this level what is exchanged is not money, it is interest and power.
Na poor man dey focus on money, rich folks focus on power.
Rich folks broker power when they sit.
You are talking about errand boys of politicians. These are not errand boys.
The least they will negotiate is appointments for their boys, FG contracts for their companies, support for next elections.
That's how the rich think, money cannot give you any of those things I have mentioned. If money wins elections Atikus would be president before Buhari, Power is what the rich are after, they are already rich.
Stop thinking small.
You don't know politics

blackgold2018:
go and see what’s happening in senate and House of Representatives.
You just said trash. As a governor, you already will the power.
