BAUCHI STATE BY HIS EXCELLENCY, SEN. BALA ABDULKADIR MOHAMMED CON THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF BAUCHI STATE ON THE OCCASION OF THE 64TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF NIGERIA ON TUESDAY 1ST OCTOBER, 2024

GOODWILL MESSAGE TO  THE PEOPLE OF 

 FELLOW CITIZENS OF BAUCHI STATE,

​​It is with deep sense of gratitude to Allah (SWT) that I send you my felicitations on the occasion of the 64th Independence Anniversary of our dear country  on  1st  October, 2024.  We should all  give gratitude to Allah for sparing our lives to witness yet another anniversary.  

2. The  64th   Independence Anniversary   should be used to reflect  on the struggle and sacrifice of the founding fathers of this country and also strive  to ensure that  their labour shall not be in vain. It is gratifying  to note that sixty four years after independence we have belied the skepticism on our ability to govern ourselves.   Today, we have shown to the world that, against all odds, we are not only able to govern ourselves, but are able to understand our differences, respect each other’s values and unite towards developing our country despite our socio-cultural heterogeneity.

3.​ Since attainment of independence in 1960, Nigeria has suffered serious setbacks in the political arena which seriously affected its political and economic growth. It is however, gladdening that today democracy has found its roots in the country. The dividends of democracy are manifest and the citizens are happy. We in Bauchi State have taken a multi-dimensional approach to all the developmental projects which resulted in success all round, particularly in infrastructural development. Having been granted another mandate by the good people of Bauchi State to  run the affairs of the State for another four years, I want to assure you that we will redouble  our effort and work harder to provide more dividends of democracy than we did during our first term.


4.  As a responsible and responsive Government, we have  taken measures in collaboration with  security agencies to protect the  lives and property of our people by swiftly addressing  any form of security challenge. I want to  assure you  that security would continue to be  top on our priority so that the  relative peace being enjoyed in the State is  sustained.


5- I would like to seize this opportunity to commend you all for your perseverance in the face of the current economic hardship that has made life unbearable. Let me  reassure you that the palliative measures taken   by both the State and Federal Governments to mitigate the  hardship through provision of food and non-food items would be sustained. I therefore call on you to exercise more patience and cooperate with the Government in its effort to bring succor to you all.  


6- As we celebrate the 64th    Anniversary of the Independence of Nigeria, my appeal to all of us is to  re-dedicate ourselves to the development of our country, be patriotic and above all  continue to pray to Almighty Allah to shower His mercy and blessings on us so that we can  continue to live  in peace with one another and  make our State and country great.


7.​ Thank you and happy independence anniversary.
