Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni and his Borno State
counterpart, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, are undertaking a study tour in Japan
to borrow from the Hiroshima recovery process of the post-1945 atomic bomb
destructions.
Mamman Mohammed, Director-General Press and Media Affairs to
Gov. Buni, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday .
The statement noted that the study tour coordinated by the
United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Japanese International
Corporation Agency (JICA) was to equip Yobe, Borno, and Adamawa state
governments with a sustainable post-insurgency recovery process.
According to the statement Govs Buni, Zulum, and a
representative of the Adamawa State Government noted that the Hiroshima
experience would contribute to fast-tracking peace-building and recovery
processes from the horrific Boko Haram insurgency in their respective states.
Gov. Buni also discussed areas of interest to the state
which include education, agriculture, humanitarian and livelihood support as
well as youth empowerment and skills acquisition.
The delegation also had discussions on the Japan-Nigeria
Parliamentary Friendship league, a lecture series on the history of Hiroshima,
peace-building, and recovery.
The governors paid a courtesy call on the Vice President of
JICA, the Deputy Governor of Hiroshima city, and the Nigerian Ambassador to
Japan.
