About The Book

Yobe State Books of Record is an Encyclopaedia of amazing records, event and the great people of Yobe State. It is an amazing state with a strong agricultural strength in the northeastern part of Nigeria. The capital of Yobe State is Damaturu; its largest city is Potiskum. Yobe State came into being on 27 August 1991. It was carved out of the old Borno State by the Babangida administration. Yobe State was created because the old Borno State was one of Nigeria's largest states in terms of land area and was therefore considered to be too large for easy administration and meaningful development.

The state borders four states: Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, and Jigawa. It borders to the north the Diffa and Zinder Regions of Niger. Because the state lies mainly in the dry savanna belt, conditions are hot and dry for most of the year, except in the southern part of the state which has more annual rainfall.

Yobe State Books of Record is a compendium of history and great icons of hope in all the sectors of life in Yobe State. The book will answer all your questions about Yobe even if you are yet to visit the State. Come; let us take you on a jolly right in and around the State at the purchase of a copy.

This is an authentic guide into everything Yobe.
