Dayyabu Ciroma, Chairman of the Bauchi State Drugs, and Medical Consumables Agency has declined a Federal Government’s appointment as a member of the Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic Shendam, Plateau State.
In a letter addressed to Adamu Adamu, the Minister of Education, dated 12th April 2021, Ciroma said his dogged allegiance to Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi State informed his decision to turn down the offer.
He said that he reserved his undiluted commitment to serve his immediate constituents in Bauchi State and to pay back the trust and confidence Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed reposed in him at the moment.
Among the notable abandoned projects, is a project designed to build perimeter fencing, gate, staff quarters and other installation equipment at the BRC Radio FM, Azare, in the Katagum Local Government Area of the state, which was initiated in 2013 by the state’s former governor, Malam Isah Yuguda. It was revealed that the reason why the project had been neglected was that the contractor was yet to be paid.
Besides, reviving some moribund companies of the state which were abandoned projects of previous administrations would be good. Among them include Arewa Ceramics Company, Azare Flour Mills and Bauchi Fertilizer Company.
I won’t join issues with you Benue gov
A northern group has accused the governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, of being a danger to the peace and political unity of the region.
The accusation followed the recent verbal attacks and counter-attacks between him and his Bauchi State counterpart, Senator Bala Mohammed.
Ortom, on Monday, accused Mohammed of backing terrorism, saying he should be held responsible if he (Ortom) was killed.
Ortom’s utterances came after Mohammed’s accusation last week that the Benue State governor lacked foresight and was to blame for the negative perception of Fulani herders in the country.
