Governor Mohammad Abdullahi Abubakar of Bauchi state, has urged tourists to visit the state, stressing that it is safe and boast of good facilities.
Governor Abubakar who took to his twitter handle (@GovMAA) called on Nigerians to holiday in Yankari, Bauchi state, as it is now too expensive to do so in Dubai and London at the prevailing exchange rates. The governor who posted scintillating pictures of the games reserve, caused a twitter storm. Most Nigerians applauded the idea including former vice-president Atiku Abubakar, and Senator Ben Murray Bruce. Others however, raised security concerns about visiting the North Eastern state.
The governor in subsequent tweets allayed any security fears, saying that Bauchi is not only safe and secure, the people are also peace loving and accommodating. He further stated that his administration will take advantage of the slump in international tourism to grow the local economy, and Yankari Games reserve remains pivotal to the growth of tourism.

Visit Bauchi state? Lol

Yankari? This guy's head is in his arsse!

I went to Yankari 3 times in 2015 only... And it doesn't even compare to Dubai 30 years ago when it was still a pile of sand.

Good one!

I hope the ministry of culture and tourism will cash in on this forex issue to market the national games reserves as local substitute for all its good reasons

What about those guys who blow things up in that region in the name of their god?
Shouldn't we be worried about them?

Bhuahahahahahaa!!! You are too harsh bro.

I was in Yankari about 10years ago! However, from the current pictures I've seen of the place, there is clearly no improvement on what was available then.
Apart from the warm spring which is fun to swim and soak in during the cold periods, I can't say anything else is impressive.

end time things

Let the minister of tourism (Bubu) lead the way

Hmmmm. I dont mind taking obi mu to bauchi for a week, that is if our security is guaranteed.
