Addressing journalists on Tuesday, December 25 after a town hall meeting with politicians and youths of the northeast held at Riveredge Hotel, Bauchi, Kumo, who is also a personal assistant to the president, said the federal government had done much to the zone in the areas of roads construction linking all the six states and the fight against insurgency which “has improved greatly” the security of lives and property in the sub-region.

“This is evident in the boost in rice production and other staple foods that have almost made Nigeria a food-sufficient nation,” he said.

He said: “They also mentioned youths and women empowerment, the ongoing Mambila Hydroelectric power project and appointing key persons from the zone by the federal government into sensitive and important positions at the federal level, such as Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Air Staff, Comptroller General of Customs, SGF, NITDA DG as few examples of what Buhari did for Northeast.”
