Yobe State is on the rise — and it’s golden sesame seeds are leading the charge
Governor Mai Mala Buni has unlocked a new era of prosperity by tapping into the booming international demand for sesame, a crop now prized across the world for its use in foods, confectioneries, medicines, cosmetics, paints, and lubricants.
Under Buni’s visionary leadership, Yobe’s once-humble sesame fields are transforming into international goldmines, drawing investors and opening fresh export opportunities.
With global prices skyrocketing, Yobe’s farmers stand to reap rich rewards, and the state’s economy is set for a major lift.
“Our sesame is no longer just a local product — it’s a global commodity,” a senior government official said. “Governor Buni’s efforts are putting Yobe on the world map.”
With improved farming techniques, strategic partnerships, and new processing hubs in the pipeline, Yobe’s golden sesame seeds are not just growing — they’re thriving, and so is the hope for a brighter, wealthier future.
