Bauchi State Governor, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has hailed the zeal and determination of the founding fathers and actors of the actualisation of the creation of the old Bauchi State in 1976. “The take-off and sustained existence of Bauchi State since 1976 were made possible through the vision and sacrifice of our founding fathers. “Each administration, in its own way, contributed to the growth, stability, and continuity of Bauchi State. Bauchi State occupies a total land area of 49,549 square kilometres, representing about 5.3% of Nigeria’s total land mass. “I, therefore, call on all citizens of Bauchi State to emulate the sacrifice, discipline, and commitment of our founding fathers.
