The Yoruba Community in Bauchi State has congratulated the state governor, Senator Bala Abdukadir Mohammed, on his conferment of Honorary Doctor of Letters ( Honoris Causa) by the Bauchi State University, Gadau, at the maiden combined convocation ceremony of the university.
The President-General of the community, Special Apostle Segun Awofadeji, in a congratulatory message signed and made available to journalists on Monday, extolled Governor Mohammed’s contribution to the state’s socio-economic and political development and growth.
Awofadeji said the award was not only well deserved but did not come as a surprise considering the governor’s massive contribution to the education sector and his commitment to the development of the state.
He also said the award is both timely and symbolic, taking into consideration his patriotic commitment towards re-engineering and renewing the state in urban and rural areas by executing meaningful policies, programmes, and projects that impact positively on the living standards of the people of the state.
According to him, “The Governor, who had during his first tenure invested much in the construction and rehabilitation of roads both in rural and urban areas, continued with the infrastructural development of the state to ease movement and businesses both in the urban and rural areas, especially for farmers and their crops.
He also embarked on a series of meetings and consultations in pursuit of collaborations and partnerships towards the attainment of prosperity for Bauchi State.”.
While pledging the unalloyed loyalty and support of the Yoruba Community to the Governor Mohammed-led administration in the pursuit of development and growth of the state, the President-General also pointed out that “the Yorubas in Bauchi will continue to promote unity, tolerance, peaceful co-existence, harmonious relationships, and love among ourselves as well as with our host community.”.
“The Yorubas have a rich and robust culture and tradition of peaceful co-existence and harmonious relationships with one another and with other tribes, irrespective of ethno-religious, political, and socio-cultural differences. So, we will maintain this tradition always and contribute our quota positively.”
