Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State this Tuesday challenged the newly elected 20 Local Government Chairmen, a Commissioner and six Special Advisers to justify the confidence repose in them by the people through demonstration of competence, integrity and effective service.
The Governor stated during their swearing-in ceremony held at the Council Chamber of government house Bauçhi, where he said consistent Local Government elections since 2019 demonstrate his administration’s commitment to strengthening democracy and effective governance at the grassroots in Bauchi State.
The Governor attributed the success of APM at the polls to his administration’s giant stride achievements in the sectors of roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, Youth development, water supply and security, saying that over 3,000 kilometres of roads have been completed across urban and rural communities.
He warned the chairmen against misappropriating Local Government funds, urging them to remain servants of the people, work closely with stakeholders and deliver meaningful results for citizens during their tenure.
Responding on behalf of the elected chairmen, Ningi Local Government Chairman, Yahuza Adamu Haruna, described their election as a serious responsibility and promised responsible service to the people and communities.
Yahuza Haruna thanked Governor Bala Mohammed for the opportunity to serve, pledging to protect the integrity of his office, improve welfare, promote Local Government dignity and justify public confidence entrusted.(Echo Express)
