According to him, “The Governor is committed to building a government that reflects the energy and innovation of the youth. No other administration in the country has given young people as many opportunities to serve in high-level positions as Governor Bala Mohammed’s.”

Bello noted that these appointments and support are part of the governor’s broader vision to create a government that prioritises fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.

“Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration is a testament to his belief that young people are not just the future but are essential to shaping the present. He has created a platform for them to actively contribute to the development of the state,” Maiwada Bello added.

As the 2027 general election approaches, the Commissioner called on youths across the nation to support the call for Governor Mohammed to aspire for the next president in the 2027 general election, arguing that his track record demonstrates a clear commitment to empowering young people.

“For years, youths have clamoured for leaders who prioritize their interests and create opportunities for them to thrive. Governor Bala Muhammad has proven himself as such a leader. It is now time for the youth to rally behind him and ensure he takes this vision to the national level,” Bello urged.

Muhammad  Bello added that with Governor Mohammed as president, Nigeria would see a government that fully harnesses the potential of its youth population, fostering innovation, inclusion, and development across the country.
