Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has approved full sponsorship for the state’s delegation to the Arewa Media Summit, scheduled to hold on Monday, July 6, 2026, in Kano.
In a statement issued by the Governor’s Digital Communications and Media Strategy Aide, Yusuf Ali, the sponsorship covers transportation, hotel accommodation, feeding, and travel allowances for 50 participants from Yobe State.
According to the statement, the beneficiaries include members of the summit’s organising committees and state coordinators.
The Secretary of the Yobe State Participants Committee, Professor Sheriff Almuhajir, said each of the state’s 17 local government areas would be represented by two delegates, while other participants would come from the state’s three senatorial districts and the state headquarters to ensure broad representation and unity.
He noted that following the governor’s approval, the committee chairman, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, and other committee members no longer need to worry about the logistics of the trip, as the state government has made all the necessary arrangements.
Almuhajir also commended the Yobe State Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Mohammed Goje, for his support and commitment to ensuring youth participation in the summit.
He further praised the Yobe State APC Youth Leader, Mohammed Musa Gulani, for his contribution to mobilising participants and ensuring the success of the preparations.
He described Governor Buni’s gesture as a reflection of his administration’s commitment to youth development, strengthening the media sector, and enhancing public capacity.
Almuhajir reaffirmed that the Yobe State delegation would represent the state effectively at the Arewa Media Summit.
