Sule Aliyu, Bauçhi
The Adamawa State Governor, the Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri on Sunday performed the ground breaking of the construction of two Flyover bridges in the heart of Bauchi by the State Government.
Shortly before the flagging off ceremony on behalf of the Bauchi State Government, Governor Fintiri declared that Senator Bala Mohammad has developed a legacy of promises kept.
Held at Wunti Round About Bauchi, Fintiri also described Senator Bala Muhammad as “the Working Governor of the North”
Fintiri, who was in company of Governors Babgana Zullum (Borno State), Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe State) and several other dignitaries at the flag off, congratulated Mohammed on the numerous projects executed by his administration in the state.
“With the projects I have seen in Bauchi State and the ones in the offing including the overhead bridges, we are about to flag off now, I am left with no other option than to congratulate the good people of Bauchi State for having a visionary and courageous leader like Senator Bala.
The true definition of leadership often times, is not rooted in the quantum of resources at the disposal of a leader. It is more measured by the vision and courage such a leader brings to the fore in the decision of how such resource are deployed and the craft of what project are prioritized.” He said.
Governor Fintiri while commending Senator Bala for the design and prioritization of projects, noted that only few leaders have the courage to rise above lazy routes and brace up to gigantic projects.
He said that overhead bridges referred to as Flyovers are not just symbols of municipal ecstasies but solutions to vehicular traffic which eases movement. “Having them in Bauchi is therefore a good decision that would continue to define the vision of Senator Bala Muhammad in solving the problem of not only the present-day Bauchi but the Bauchi of tomorrow.”
Speaking earlier, the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad , noted that population growth informed the idea behind constructing the flyovers, adding that it will redefining urban transportation.
Governor Bala said as gateway to the North East it will give a first visitor to the region a good impression.
He noted that the choice of Governor Fintiri to break the ground is deliberate, describing him as one of the best that has changed the landscape of the region through the execution of viable projects.
The governor said the present government’s stride in developing the state would improve the Gross Domestic Product of the state and reposition it for economic viability and growth
