The new Executive Director while expressing his appreciation to the civil society community in the state wrote on his facebook page:

"I wish to appreciate the  Yobe CS family especially those that participated in the just concluded NYCSO Election where I emerged as the Executive Director together with other team members.

"I consider the responsibility to lead the Network of CS as a State service and shall try as much to at least meet your expectations from us while ensuring inclusivity in our operations.

"I also wish to exclusively salute Mr. Sheriff Kura Ibrahim who willingly withdrew from the contest with me in the overall interest of the Network, without which the contest wouldn't have been easy for us and has strengthened the spirit of unity and cohesion amongst the CS family in Yobe.

"To the electoral committee Chairman and his members, the Yobe CS family can't appreciate you enough the ensuring a healthy and credible election. You have indeed made us proud.

"For those who did not score the higher number of votes during election, I implore you to consider it a step forward and be ready to support us in making the Network stronger. 

"Thank you".
