The promise
Described security as critical to sustaining development and economic growth, and pledged to work with security agencies to protect residents.
Assessment
Yobe remains a Boko Haram/ISWAP stronghold; two terrorist attacks in late October 2023 alone killed at least 37 people, and 29 documented 2022-2023 attacks across Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe forced the closure of 113 schools. The governor has convened the State Security Council and adopted new measures, but the insurgency remains an unresolved, largely federally-driven challenge.
