The Yobe State government has pledged to support international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) and civil society organisations (CSOs), as well as to put development strategies into action for faster advancement. The Network of Yobe Civil Society Organisations (NYSCO) and a group of International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) on Social Protection Policy (ACE, COOPL, MERCY CORP, DRC, and SCI) paid Governor Mai Mala Buni a visit to discuss the implementation of social protection policy in Yobe State. The governor was represented by his deputy and the chairman of the social protection policy council, Hon. Idi Barde Gubana. "It is indeed important to recognise your efforts in implementing the national policy, which is a combination of policies and programmes designed for individuals," the governor said.
