Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has described Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, as one of the strongest ministers who served in his administration. “I am therefore not surprised by these achievements, having known Governor Bala Mohammed over the years and being aware of his passion for service, determination to deliver democratic dividends and unwavering commitment to development,” Jonathan said. Earlier, Mohammed said his years serving under Jonathan taught him important lessons in prudent resource management, project execution and effective governance. “I want to tell the people of Bauchi State that whatever I have learnt as a politician, I learnt a great deal from Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,” Mohammed said. “I have every confidence that Bauchi State will continue on this path of peace, stability and sustainable development,” Jonathan said.
