GONET MESSAGE ON INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

On this International Day of Peace, GONET calls on all Nigerians to embrace peace, tolerance, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, particularly as we approach the period of political campaigns and elections.

Political differences should never divide us or lead to violence. We urge political leaders, candidates, supporters, religious and traditional leaders, the media and citizens to promote issue-based campaigns, responsible communication and peaceful participation.

Let us choose dialogue over confrontation, unity over division, and peace over violence. We may support different candidates, but we share one country and one future.

Campaign peacefully. Vote peacefully. Live in harmony. Let us build Nigeria together.

Amb. Ibrahim Yusuf – Chairman, GONET
Dr. Benjamin Maina – Secretary, GONET

HOLDING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE, STRENGTHENING PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE

The Gombe Network of Civil Society -GONET, in collaboration with the Gombe State Ministries of Budget and Economic Planning and Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, convened a Citizens’ Accountability Report (CAR) Consultative Stakeholders’ Engagement.

The engagement provided a platform for citizens and stakeholders to review government revenue and expenditure for 2025, raise concerns, and make recommendations toward priority areas for the 2027 Budget and development interventions.

GONET remains committed to ensuring that citizens have a voice in governance and that public resources deliver meaningful development to the people.

Accountability strengthens democracy. Participation strengthens governance.

Congratulations to all Gombe State Youths
FOCEI Foundation For Community Empowerment

We proudly appreciate the State Government, under the able leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya (Dan Majen Gombe), CON, for the historic signing and adoption of the Gombe State Youth Policy during the 55th State Executive Council Meeting.

This is more than a policy it is a promise of opportunity, inclusion and a stronger future for our young people.

We commend this bold step and look forward to its full and effective implementation.
When we invest in young people, we invest in the future of Gombe State. Together, we can build a generation empowered to lead, innovate and transform our communities.
