Presiding over the end-of-year extraordinary State Executive Council (SEC) meeting at the Executive Chambers, the Governor emphasized that governance is about putting people first—even when it means working beyond regular hours.
Triple Awards, Shared Success
Governor Bala Mohammed proudly announced that his administration has received three prestigious awards from the Presidency and the Nigeria Excellence Award in Public Service (NEAPS):

He stressed that these honors are not personal achievements but the result of collective effort by SEC members. “The recent awards were possible with your support,” he said, noting that the recognition demonstrates Bauchi State’s commitment to people-oriented programs and policies.
Reflection and Stock-Taking
The Governor reminded the Council that the end of the year is a time for reflection. Heads of ministries, departments, and agencies must evaluate their performance and ensure promises to citizens are being fulfilled.
“Today is Saturday, you were supposed to be resting and having time for yourselves, but we are here for the sake of the people of Bauchi State,” he remarked, underscoring the importance of sacrifice in governance.
Empowering Citizens
A major highlight of the meeting was the approval of guidelines for recruiting 10,000 youths and women. This initiative is designed to reduce unemployment, empower families, and strengthen the state’s economy.
A Season of Joy and Service
