Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has been commended for approving an improved working environment and a salary increment for medical doctors and other healthcare professionals across the state.

The commendation was made by the State Commissioner for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Sani Muhammad Dambam, while addressing journalists in Bauchi on Sunday following the ratification of the approval by the State Executive Council (SEC) during its meeting over the weekend.

Describing the Governor’s decision as “bold, compassionate, and visionary,” Dr. Dambam noted that it reflects a strong commitment not only to the welfare of health workers but also to the overall advancement of the state’s healthcare system.

“This move is both timely and necessary, especially at a time when healthcare professionals continue to sacrifice immensely for the well-being of our citizens,” he said.

The Commissioner explained that the salary enhancement is a significant morale booster expected to inspire greater dedication, professionalism, and excellence within the health sector. He emphasized that healthcare workers are the backbone of any society, and improving their working conditions is a hallmark of responsible, people-centered leadership.
