…Re-introduces Monthly Sanitation Exercise in Gombe State
Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has cautioned citizens against dumping of refuse in drainages, emphasising that the repercussion of such practice can be devastating to the health of humans and the physical well being of the environment.

The Governor said the exercise becomes necessary following the 2021 weather forcast report by the Nigerian Hydrological Agency which showed that Gombe is among the 27 states in the country with serious and concerning flood outlook.
He said to achieve a Gombe that is free from flood disaster, all men and women of good will must join hands with Government to not only clear water channels of dirts but to defend the environment from those wishing to destroy it.
“If we continue to toy with the environment particularly water channels, chances are that the rains can result into flood disaster, thereby destroying lives and property and equally polluting the water we drink leading to one disease or the other”.
Governor Yahaya said the desilting exercise will also be replicated across all the local Government areas to guard against flooding.
He stressed that his administration will not tolerate the indiscriminate dumping of refuse in water ways, disclosing that environmental protection corps will soon be commissioned with sweeping powers to monitor and enforce laws regarding sanitation and hygiene within the state.
The Governor said his administration is reintroducing monthly sanitation exercise to encourage individual participation in environmental sanitation.

Earlier in an address of welcome, the commissioner of environment and forest resources, Dr. Hussaina Goje said the desilting exercise is being carried out simultaneously across 13 sites with a total length of 23 kilometres.
She thanked the Governor for swiftly responding to the demand by her Ministry to save the people from imminent flood disaster, especially now that the precipitation is increasing by the day.
The Chairman of Gombe Local Government Council, Aliyu Usman Haruna and the Member representing Gombe North Constituency, Hon. Ali Baba Manu, who expressed appreciation to the Governor for his constant show of concern to the plight of the people said the leadership style of the state chief executive leaves no one in doubt of his love for the people at all times.

The Governor assured of his administration’s commitment to providing an environment of peace where the girl-child can achieve her full potential through sound education which the Gombe State Government is doing everything necessary to reposition for better and effective service delivery.
The Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed said the SDGs is all about human development, the environment, and an inclusive economy which has been the hallmark of the administration of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya.

So we thank you for being an example, not only for Gombe State but for Nigeria”.

…As Governor Inuwa Describes UN DSG as Epitome of International Relations and Diplomacy
It was a delightful evening full of radiant joy and pageantry as Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, earlier today at the Shehu Musa Ya’Adua Centre in Abuja, gave the opening remarks that flagged-off series of activities lined up for the celebration of the 60th birthday of an illustrious daughter of Gombe, Hajiya Amina J. Muhammed, the Deputy Director-General of the United Nations.
While giving the opening remarks at the occasion, Governor Inuwa Yahaya described the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations as an epitome of international diplomacy who defied social and cultural barriers to rise to the peak of her carrier as an excellent administrator in global affairs.
At the Birthday Anniversary Symposium with the theme “Overcoming the Challenges of Africa’s Transformation”, Governor Inuwa Yahaya explained that considering the humble background Amina Mohammed came from, he has no choice than to admit that the international diplomat is an extraordinary personality who always strives to make the most of any assignment given to her.
To this end, the Governor said that her 60th birthday is not only worth celebrating but an avenue to showcase her determination, dedication, commitment and the undying spirit of pan Africanism.
Regaling in Amina Muhammed’s background, Inuwa Yahaya said “Going by her background, ordinarily in pre-independence Nigeria, no one would not have expected that a typical Fulani man that came out from the North East where unfolding events shows vulnerability and lack of development could have at that time travelled to study at the United Kingdom and not only so,to look at the nature of his people and decide to take a way that could advance their course. A typical Fulani man that went to study veterinary medicine and not only that but going higher to consummate an arrangement and married a Scottish woman”.
This consummation of nuptial relationship, Governor Inuwa Yahaya observed, eventually gave birth to Amina Mohammed who is being celebrated as an international figure and an icon of diplomacy today, adding that since her days with Noman and Doban, the diplomat has been of immense help to the then Bauchi State and the present Gombe State particularly in the areas of health, education and subsequently in environmental protection when she held sway as the Minister of Environment for Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He said her doggedness to turn around the fortunes of her home State, Gombe led to the establishment of the Federal Teaching Hospital in the State which has a mega health sanctuary where many are today seeking medical attention across the Northeast Nigeria.
Governor Yahaya further described Amina Muhammed’s contribution to humanity from her days in MDGs and SDGs to Nigeria’s Minister of Environment and her current position as the United Nations Deputy Secretary General as incredible and a tonic for global peace and cooperation, describing her re-appointment as the UN Deputy Chief as most deserving.
“We are very proud of her performance before now and going forward into the future, I see Amina as a special gift, a golden gift not only to the people of Gombe State and Nigeria but infact to the whole world,seeing the role and the job she is doing now of trying to transform the world and make it a better place for all of us to be proud of”.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya said Amina’s experience remains a thing of pride to the people of Gombe State owing to her superlative performance and contributions to humanity, assuring the diplomat of the support of the Government and people of the State.
The Governor challenged the high and mighty in the society to return to their people and bring the change they so desire to see as exemplified by Amina Mohammed both in her thoughts and deeds.
He said his administration is poised to continue to encourage more women to attain their full potentials, saying “Gombe under my watch has deemed it necessary to appoint two women to head the civil and teachers service commissions which are areas of human resource management and public administration.
Governor Yahaya said further that he appointed three women into key ministeries to boost efficiency in governance, participate in decision making and to move the State forward, challenging other states across the country to borrow a leaf from Gombe State. He noted that if women are given the opportunity, the level of retrogression the country has experienced could have been avoided.
Commenting on the topic of the symposium, Governor Yahaya described the theme as very apt and an opportunity for policy makers to think and learn deep so that Nigeria and the rest of Africa can be transformed in line with present day realities.
“Africa is a continent at odds with itself. It is therefore heart-warming today’s lecture is to be delivered by another icon and Africa’s gift to the world – Ellen Sirleaf Johnson. This towering leader broke the glass ceiling by being the first female President in Africa”.
The 60th birthday lecture was a parade of VIPs with notable national and international personalities in attendance.
President Muhammadu Buhari was represented by his Chief of Staff, Amb. Ibrahim Gambari and Former President of Liberia, H.E Mrs Ellen Johnson- Sirleaf delivered the keynote address while Governors Nasir El-Rufai and Kayode Fayemi of Kaduna and Ekiti states respectively presented goodwill messages.
Emir of Gombe, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu Abubakar III served as royal father of the day and was represented at the occasion by former Minister of FCT, Dr. Aliyu Modibbo Umar, who paid glowing tribute to the celebrant, describing her as a patriot who has continued with the legacy of serving people throughout her career as bequeathed by her late father.
The event was also attended by business mogul Aliko Dangote, Envoys, Ministers of Works, Babatunde Fashola; Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami; Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen; Industry; Otunba Adebayo and Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
