Governor Abubakar
Each of the 20 Local Government Areas in Bauchi State will have a commissioner in order to widen representation and sources of generating ideas.
A statement on Friday by the Press Secretary to the Governor, Abubakar Al-Sadique stated that Governor Mohammed Abubakar has concluded plans to constitute the new State Executive Council.
According to the statement, membership of the council to be constituted soon, will be expanded to 20 with technocrats and experienced people with diverse professional background.
On assumption of office in 2015,Abubakar had reduced the number of Ministries and commissioners to 16 from the 26 of the previous administration.
“The Governor is making these new changes in order to widen the representation of each local government area with full cabinet membership as against the practice in the past that allowed four of the local government areas only special advisory slots,” the statement added.
