Gombe State has emerged as a model for environmental restoration and climate resilience in Northern Nigeria, the National Coordinator of the Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) Project, Abdulhamid Umar, has said.
During a courtesy visit to Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya at the Government House, Umar commended the state’s progress under the ACReSAL project, describing Gombe’s approach to land restoration, water management, and climate resilience as exemplary.
“We are truly impressed with the quality and speed of work being executed in Gombe State under the ACReSAL Project. You are not just leading in Gombe, but driving implementation across the entire Northern region. This is the kind of political will we’ve always advocated for,” Umar said in a statement made available to our correspondent, adding that other states and the Federal Government could benefit from observing Gombe’s model.
The ACReSAL National Coordinator also expressed gratitude for Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s support and strategic partnership, which have facilitated smooth and impactful project implementation.

In response, Governor Inuwa Yahaya reaffirmed his commitment to environmental sustainability, saying, “We’re up and doing to put life back into our land and ensure that our people, who are mostly farmers, can fully enjoy the benefits of God-endowed natural resources.”
The Governor, who also chairs the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF), said Gombe’s success reflects focused leadership and effective partnerships. He pledged to invite Umar to address the NSGF and commended the ACReSAL team for their hands-on approach.
