Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has pledged to focus on improving the state’s infrastructure.
Mohammed made the pledge in his New Year message to the people of the State.
He said despite paucity of funds, his administration had not relented in its drive towards the provision of infrastructural and social facilities, especially in the areas of roads reconstruction, mass housing, urban renewal and education.
His words, “I wish to once again thank the good people of Bauchi State and commend their sagacity for giving me the mandate to serve them for another four years, in Sha Allah. Let me assure you that as a Government, we will, during our second tenure, raise the bar of performance and push the frontiers of progress as well as socio-economic and political inclusion as our strategy for providing more dividends of democracy to our people.
“To this end, we will continue to deepen consultation, stake-holding and community engagement which are essential for good governance.
“This stakeholder ownership will emphasize the rights and obligations of the citizens. For emphasis also, we consider it the inalienable right of the people to hold the Government accountable to the taxpayer. We will also strive to honor the maxim of being our brothers’ keepers and to demonstrate, in word and in deed, that ours is a caring government that recognizes the voter beyond Election Day.”
