Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has declared that he would rather be an architect and builder of modern Bauchi metropolis than become a destroyer of properties.
Governor Mohammed, who stated this on Sunday, May 19, 2024 at the ground breaking of the construction of two flyovers in Bauchi metropolis, said that his administration is working to reclaim all encroached spaces along the major roads in the State capital
According to Mohammed; “I heard that I have been nicknamed Mr Destroyer. I am not a destroyer, I am here to change the atmospheric look of Bauchi State. I am here to modernize things in line with current trend.
“We want a cleaner and environmentally friendly atmosphere in the cities. Our ambition is to make our visitors see a new and beautiful State as they passed by.”
Mohammed noted that there are too many illegal shanties that have taken away the beauty of Bauchi State, saying; “we have to reclaim the shanties and replace them with beautiful and green areas”.
The Governor said that his vision is to make the State the pearl of tourism and hospitality, adding that his administration intend to ensure that those passing through the state experience a brand new Bauchi State.
