Governor Bala Mohammed, the governor of Bauchi State has carried out a minor cabinet reshuffle and appointed four new commissioners.

The reshuffling which comes barely nine months before the end of his administration, followed the exit of some commissioners who resigned to pursue political ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections, while two others were removed from office.

While speaking during the swearing-in ceremony, Mohammed explained that the appointments were made to ensure that local government areas affected by vacancies remained represented in the State Executive Council.

He warned that their conduct would be subjected to public scrutiny, advising them to uphold integrity, accountability, transparency and due process in the management of public resources.

The newly appointed commissioners are Madaki Ahmad Gololo, Bashir Yau, Bashir Adamu Rishi and Baraya Ibrahim.

“Your actions and conduct will be closely monitored by the government and the people of Bauchi State. You must ensure that your stewardship reflects probity, accountability, and transparency, and avoid any act capable of bringing this administration into disrepute,” Mohammed said.

Baraya Ibrahim, one of the newly appointed commissioners, thanked the governor for the confidence reposed in them, pledging their loyalty to the administration’s development agenda.

“We will work collectively to promote transparency, accountability, and the effective implementation of government programmes for the benefit of the people of Bauchi State,” he said.
