Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has announced a minor cabinet reshuffle, appointing four new commissioners less than a year before the end of his administration.
The changes, unveiled on Thursday, follow the resignation of some commissioners pursuing political ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections, while two others were removed from office.
The newly appointed commissioners are Madaki Ahmad Gololo (Small and Medium Enterprises and Cooperatives), Bashir Yau (Youth and Sports Development), Bashir Adamu Rishi (Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management), and Baraya Ibrahim (Commerce, Industry and Investment).
During the swearing-in ceremony at the Government House in Bauchi, Mohammed emphasized that the appointments were made to ensure equitable representation and to fill vacancies in the State Executive Council.
He noted that merit, competence, and commitment to development guided the selection process.
The governor urged the new appointees to quickly familiarize themselves with government policies, work closely with permanent secretaries, and uphold integrity, accountability, and transparency in managing public resources.
Other redeployments include Adamu Babayo Gabarin to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Abdul Hassan to Rural Development and Special Duties, and Muhammad Hamisu Shira to Finance and Economic Development.
Hassan Eliyakub and Usman Usman were retained as supervising commissioners for Local Government and Water Resources, respectively.
Speaking on behalf of the new commissioners, Baraya Ibrahim pledged loyalty to the administration’s development agenda, promising to promote transparency and effective implementation of government programmes.
Governor Mohammed concluded with prayers for divine guidance, reaffirming his commitment to improving citizens’ welfare before the expiration of his tenure.
