Bauchi Gov Bala swears in eight new commissioners, charges them to work hard

Bauchi Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir on Wednesday sworn in the newly appointed eight Commissioners. The swearing ceremony is held at the Executive Council Chamber of the state government house charges them to work hard for the development of the state.

He urges them to lead with integrity, foster innovation, serve with empathy and collaborate effectively to inspire their teams and deliver results that will shape Bauchi into a model of development, progress, and inclusivity.

He said that in selecting them for the appointment, their qualifications, track record of service in various fields and fairness in representation in line with State character were taken into consideration.

“It is my hope that they would justify the confidence reposed in them. Indeed, they should see their appointment as a challenge as well as an opportunity for them to prove their worth in the service of their State. I urge them to acquaint themselves with the policy thrust of the Government so as to be properly guided for efficient and effective discharge of their duties as Commissioners and members of the State Executive Council”

“I wish to note that the task before us is enormous. We have set before us a clear course of action by defining our priorities, drawing up relevant policies and programs and setting up plans to achieve our broader goals. To ensure success in our delivery, we periodically undertake an introspection through the review and self-assessment of our performances.

“I therefore wish to admonish every member of our team to work hard as the review exercise will become more frequent and members will personally be held responsible for any shortcomings in delivery within their MDAs. We will not hesitate to further re-jig the composition of our government where the need arises. Our ultimate goal is to meet the vision we have set towards the development of our dear state”

“Ours is a Government that has as its priority the socio-economic wellbeing of the people of the State. As Commissioners you should work hard towards the realization of this noble objective. You should make judicious use of government resources at you disposal and resist temptation to divert public funds to your personal use. As Commissioners and Chief Executives of your Ministries, you should make accountability and transparency your guiding principle in the discharge of your duties”

The governor, Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir reminds the new appointees that the assignment given to them is a trust, adding that they have a duty to God Almighty and an obligation to their fellow human beings.

Adding that One day they will account for their stewardship, if not in this world surely in the hereafter. They should not therefore be tempted to abuse the trust bestowed on them.
