On Sunday, Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir swore in 20 newly elected Executive Chairpersons of the Local Government Councils, just a day after their victory was confirmed by the State Independent Electoral Commission (BASIEC).
Among the new chairpersons is Hajara Gidado, the first elected female chairperson, who was sworn in as the Executive Chairperson of Itas/Gadau LGC.
The Governor urged the chairpersons to excel in their roles as autonomous governance entities, emphasizing their responsibility to deliver impactful democratic administration at the local level. He encouraged them to collaborate effectively with their deputies and councillors to advance democratic benefits and support the Bauchi Project.
Additionally, Bala Mohammed advised the chairpersons to take measures to prevent a recurrence of nationwide protests against poor governance, such as the #EndBadGovernmentinNigeria movement.
