Governor Bago Leading Niger State To The Promised Land – MBYC
The Middle Belt Youth Council (MBYC) has applauded Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger State for his dedication to transforming the state and improving the lives of its citizens.
In a statement signed by its President, Comrade Danladi Lami, the group said Bago’s leadership has been a breath of fresh air, acknowledging the positive impact of his policies and programs on the state.
Lami said the governor has made significant strides in urban renewal, agriculture, education, security, transportation, and communication.
He noted that the expansion of major cities, provision of social amenities, and rural transformation programs demonstrate Governor Bago’s inclusive approach to development.
“The acquisition of over 1,000 tractors to boost mechanized farming and enhance food production is a laudable initiative. This move is expected to revolutionize agriculture in the state, creating jobs and increasing food production,” he said.
“The procurement of security vehicles and investment in education infrastructure also showcase his administration’s resolve to address critical sectors.
“Governor Bago’s leadership has restored sanity to the state, evident in the clearance of debts owed to utility companies, payment of outstanding debts to examination bodies, and the establishment of a university of education.
“His community approach to security has also yielded positive results, with a significant reduction in crime and criminality in the state.
“The renovation of the Minna Airport renamed the Bola Ahmad Tinubu International Airport, is another testament to Governor Bago’s commitment to infrastructure development.
“Additionally, the distribution of 20 operational vehicles to security agencies has enhanced their capacity to combat crime and maintain public safety.”
Lami added that Governor Bago’s financial discipline has saved the state N10 billion in just four months, demonstrating his administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
He further said: “The enforcement of the 2022 Revenue Law, freezing the state’s account to create a single dashboard for the state’s finances, is a laudable move.
“The automation of salary and pension payments has also ensured prompt payment of workers’ entitlements. We applaud Governor Bago’s efforts to empower media outlets, ensuring transparent communication with the public.
“The upgrade of Radio Niger, NSTV, and the Newsline newspapers will enhance public awareness and engagement with the government’s programs and policies.”
The group, therefore, urged Governor Bago to continue his excellent work while calling on his counterparts from the zone to emulate him.
