The Tunisian government has expressed its willingness to partner with the Yobe State Government in commerce, agriculture and education, among others.
Mamman Mohammed, Director General, Press and Media Affairs to Yobe State Governor, disclosed this in a statement when the Tunisian ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Mohsen Antit, paid a courtesy visit to Governor Buni on Thursday.
The diplomat explained that Yobe State has potential that is beneficial to its business community as well as the Tunisian business community.
“We are willing to explore these potentials to the benefit of our people and governments.
“We will arrange for exchange visits between the business communities for them to appreciate the potentials and the mutual benefits available for the two communities,” Mohsen said.
Governor Mai Mala Buni, while responding, assured the ambassador of his government’s commitment to promote the partnership, noting that the state has huge arable land and energetic youth readily available for agricultural engagements, as well as to explore other areas such as education.
“Similarly, our vibrant business community is ready for the partnership.” Governor Buni said.
The governor said his administration would support the exchange visits to promote the partnership.
He noted that the newly completed cargo airport would contribute to the proposed partnership between Yobe State and Tunisia.
“Let us be pragmatic, proactive and time-conscious in promoting this partnership to the benefit of our people,” Buni appealed.
