The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has praised Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, for what it described as impactful leadership and people-focused governance, saying his administration has delivered notable progress in peace, development and economic empowerment.
In a statement signed by its National President, Hon. Khalil Moh’d Bello, the association said the achievements recorded in Yobe State over the past seven years reflect Governor Buni’s inclusive leadership style and commitment to the welfare of ordinary citizens, particularly rural communities and livestock rearers.
KACRAN described the governor as a leader of integrity and experience, recalling his political journey from the grassroots to national prominence before assuming office as governor. The group noted that his decision in 2019 to leave his role as National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the Yobe governorship demonstrated selflessness and dedication to public service.
The association highlighted improvements in healthcare and education under the current administration, noting that Yobe State recently emerged as the leading state in the North-East in basic healthcare service delivery in 2026, a performance that attracted recognition and support from international development partners.
On economic development, KACRAN expressed support for the state’s 2026 “Budget of Job Creation,” which provides for the completion of modern markets across major towns, including Damaturu, Potiskum, Gashua, Nguru and Geidam. According to the group, the projects are expected to stimulate local commerce and create employment opportunities for youths and small-scale traders.
The association also commended Governor Buni’s focus on agriculture and livestock development, citing partnerships with the Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRES) and other donor agencies aimed at modernising the livestock sector and improving the livelihoods of pastoral communities.
KACRAN further described the governor as a consensus builder, praising his ability to foster teamwork among senior government officials to ensure effective service delivery.
The group also congratulated Buni on his recent appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Chairman of the APC Committee on Strategy, Conflict Resolution and Mobilisation, saying the role reflects confidence in his capacity to promote unity and stability within the party and the country.
Reaffirming its support for the governor, KACRAN said it remains confident in his ability to steer Yobe State towards sustained peace and prosperity, while urging continued collaboration between the government and stakeholders in the livestock sector.
