Jonathan Taught Me Art, Science of Leadership, Says Bauchi Gov

The Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has disclosed
that former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
impacted his life greatly by teaching him the art and science of
leadership, which he said had manifested in the results he has
achieved in the last two years in office.

Meanwhile, the state government has named Sabon Kaura road in
the state capital after the former president.

Mohammed, who spoke during the inauguration ceremony of Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan road yesterday, said naming of the road after the
former president was the least he could do to honour him as his
mentor.

The governor, who described the road as his legacy project among
the numerous ones being executed since his assumption of office in
the state, said it was completed within six months after its
commencement.

He said at the inception of his administration in May 2019, the
government hit the ground running by embracing good governance as a
deliberate policy for developmental administration, to create the
desired impact, adding that his administration policy thrust is
predicated on global best practices of implementing programmes
targeted at improving the quality of lives of the people.

Mohammed said his administration met a sorry state of
infrastructural deficit in both urban and rural areas, pointing out
that his government confronted the situation by embarking on
accelerated urban renewal, development and programmes as it was the
only way to reverse the ugly trend.

He said through the initiative, his government has constructed
over 100 km of both urban and district roads across the state,
adding that the state government has completed the Bauchi Urban
Water Supply Scheme through the assistance of the World Bank.

“The newly constructed 6.2km road will provide vital access to
Sabon Kaura community starting from Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
University campus and equally serves as a bye-pass linking Jos road
with Dads Tafawa Balewa road. The road was among the first legacy
project embarked upon within the 100 days of my administration, and
was awarded to Habib Engineering Nigeria Limited at the cost of
N2.2 billion and completed within six months,” he stated.

While performing the inauguration ceremony of the road, the
former president thanked the governor for the honour, adding that
Mohammed is truly the servant of the masses.

Jonathan, who said he was pleased with what Mohammed was doing
in the state, added that that was what is expected from all the
state governors for their people.
