The Gulani Area Development Association (GADA) has congratulated the Yobe State Government over its impressive performance in the 2025 Subnational Audit Efficacy (SAE) Index, describing the achievement as a strong endorsement of the state’s commitment to accountability and prudent management of public resources.

In a congratulatory message, GADA particularly praised the Accountant-General of Yobe State for the role played in strengthening financial discipline and institutional accountability, following the state’s emergence among the top three best-performing states in Nigeria in the latest audit ranking.

The association said the recognition reflects the steady progress Yobe has made in public financial management and transparent governance, noting that the development has further enhanced the state’s reputation as one of the leading examples of good governance in the country.

GADA’s National President, Alhaji Mohammed Shuaibu Gulani, said the feat was not only a source of pride for Yobe people but also proof that responsible leadership and sound administrative systems can deliver measurable results.

According to him, the ranking shows the impact of deliberate efforts aimed at strengthening public sector auditing and ensuring that government resources are managed in a way that benefits citizens.

He said the achievement has positioned Yobe as a benchmark for other states seeking to improve transparency, accountability and institutional performance.

“Your dedication to strengthening institutional frameworks and ensuring prudent management of public resources has not only brought honour to Yobe State but has also positioned it as a model for other states across the federation,” he said.

GADA also prayed for greater success for the state’s financial management team, expressing hope that the momentum would be sustained in the interest of good governance and development.

The association described the honour as well deserved and urged public officials across the state to build on the recognition by deepening reforms that promote accountability, efficiency and public trust.
