Yobe State has entered a new chapter of economic self-reliance with the arrival of high-capacity sesame-processing machines imported from Europe. The equipment has now reached the state and is being prepared for installation across the four newly constructed agro-processing plants in Machina, Nguru, Potiskum, and Damaturu.

This delivery marks a turning point in Gov. Mai Mala Buni’s quest to build a modern, industrialized agricultural economy. For years, Yobe farmers watched the real profit of sesame leave the state in the hands of middlemen and external processors. With these machines now on Yobe soil, that era is coming to an end.

The message is clear:
Yobe will no longer export raw wealth and import poverty.

Once operational, the factories will clean, dehull, refine, and package sesame to export quality, enabling higher earnings for farmers, Thousands of skilled and unskilled jobs, Growth of transport, packaging, storage, and supply-chain businesses, Stronger internally generated revenue, Direct access to global markets.

Stakeholders have described the development as one of the boldest economic moves in the state’s history—shifting Yobe from raw-material supplier to value-added producer.

The project is being executed by Damuli Investment Company (DiC), under the leadership of Liman Machina Dabuwa, which sourced modern, industrial-grade machinery capable of competing with international processors.

For Gov. Buni, the arrival of the machines is more than a technical milestone; it is proof of political will, continuity, and vision. At a time when many states struggle to move from policy announcement to actual implementation, Yobe is delivering physical, measurable progress.

The factories are no longer mere structures—they are becoming engines of production, employment, and wealth creation.

Politically, the development strengthens Buni’s image as a leader focused on dignity, economic independence, and legacy projects that outlive his tenure. Instead of relying solely on federal allocation, Yobe is building a system that will generate income from production, value-addition, and export earnings.

With the machines already in the state, installation and test-running will commence, moving Yobe closer to full commercial operation. For farmers, this means higher prices. For youth, it means jobs. For businesses, it means expansion. And for the state, it means stepping into the class of industrial agricultural economies.

The arrival of these machines is not just a delivery—it is a declaration that Yobe is ready to process its own future, earn its own wealth, and control its own economic destiny.
