Segun Awofadeji in BauchiThe Bauchi State Government has pledged to settle the outstanding debts of late veteran journalist and retired civil servant, Mallam Dalhat Hamid Bello, and to fast-track the payment of his gratuity to support his family. The commitment followed the late broadcaster’s touching testament, in which he urged his children to use his gratuity to offset his debts in the event of his death. Moved by the gesture, the state Governor, Bala Mohammed, directed that the debts be paid directly by the state, while his gratuity process is expedited. This was disclosed by the state Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Hon. Wanka described the late Dalhat as a dedicated public servant who served Bauchi State with distinction and contributed immensely to the growth of the broadcasting profession, having once served as the acting Managing Director of the Bauchi Radio Corporation (BRC).
