Gov Bala Mohammed Inaugurates Abuja-Bauchi Value Jet Daily Flight

Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has flagged-off daily flight operations from Abuja to Bauchi by the Value Jet Airline with an assurance of the safety of passengers.

The governor said this is part of his administration’s drive to enhance transportation, facilitate the movement of goods, services and people, and promote the growth of the state.

According to him, transportation is the life blood of any thriving economy, and flights from Abuja to Bauchi play a pivotal role in connecting the state with the rest of the nation, describing it as a crucial artery for the exchange of commerce, ideas and culture.

While flagging off the daily flight at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport, Bauchi on Tuesday, Bala Mohammed emphasised the state government’s commitment to ensure ease of business, security and safe movement of people and goods within Bauchi State.

“Our government has invested heavily in roads networks, but we recognized that an air travel is equally essential. Bauchi State International Airport, also known as Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport serves not only Bauchi, but also neighbouring states of Yobe, Jigawa, Gombe and Adamawa”.
