Gov Bala Sets Up Technical C’ttee To Review ‘Bauchi Project’

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has inaugurated a 53-member technical committee to review his ‘Bauchi Project’ developed when he aspired for the leadership of the state in 2019.

At the inauguration of the committee in Bauchi yesterday, Bala said his “Bauchi Project” has been executed from 2019 to date for greater Bauchi State.

Bala recalled that his “Bauchi Project ‘’ was produced for the development and advancement of the state after painstakingly studying the myriad of problems that afflicted and held the state backward over the years.

He said the terms of reference of the technical committee are to examine the roadmap of his ‘Bauchi Project’ and its level of implementation so far, suggest ways and means for continuity of the project especially new areas of funding up to 2027, propose major projects to be executed within first 100 days in office, first one year in office and four years in office.

Others, according to him, are to make any other recommendations that will accelerate development of the state, suggest the way forward  towards addressing the lingering issue of gratuity, to make any recommendations on the security situation in the state and as well to make any recommendation(s) incidental to their assignment.

“It is with high sense of humility that I wish to state here that during the last four years, we presided over the affairs of Bauchi State, we have substantially fulfilled our parts of the social contract and justified the confidence reposed in us by the good people of Bauchi State.  I can as well say that “My Bauchi Project’ has substantially been executed. I wish to express my profound gratitude to the good people of Bauchi State for the opportunity they gave us to serve them in the last four years.

“No doubt, successive administrations have done their best since the creation of Bauchi State in 1976. But their best was not good enough to take Bauchi State to where it ought to be when compared with its contemporaries. As  concerned and patriotic citizens therefore, we took it upon ourselves to pull the state out of the woods and make it the envy of everyone.  It is this initiative that is called ‘My Bauchi Project’ which is essentially the blueprint we have produced for the development of the State.

“The mandate given to us by our compatriots to run the affairs of our dear state for another four years is an opportunity and a challenge for us to implement ‘My Bauchi Project’ to a logical conclusion.  I want to assure you that we will not disappoint you.”
