Worried by the dilapidation of the tomb of Nigeria’s first and only Prime Minister, late Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa which has been neglected to decay over the years, the present administration in the state has expressed its plans to rehabilitate the entire complex in order to make a befitting edifice.
The expression was made public on Friday, by the Bauchi State Commissioner of Culture and Tourism, Dr Asma’u Ahmed Giade during the annual memorial lecture and prayers for the repose of the soul of late national leader organised by the state government held at the tomb.
The Commissioner said that the complex was neglected for decades by past administrations revealing that the present administration had set a plan in motion to renovate the place so that it could attract more tourists from within and outside the country.
