Youths in Damaturu, Yobe State, have vandalised a billboard erected to welcome President Bola Tinubu to the state for the launch of the Yobe State Agricultural Empowerment Programme. The incident occurred on Saturday, July 20, after Vice President Kashim Shettima represented President Tinubu at the launch of the programme.
The billboard, which had photos of President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima, was destroyed by the youths, who tore out the banner with the welcome message. The vandalism has been condemned by many, who see it as an act of disrespect towards the president and the state government.
The launch of the Yobe State Agricultural Empowerment Programme is a significant initiative aimed at boosting agriculture in the state. However, the vandalism of the billboard has marred the event and raised concerns about the behavior of some youths in the state.
