Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday congratulated Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed on his 67th birthday, lauding his record in infrastructure and economic development.

In a message on X, Atiku praised Mohammed’s road projects linking remote communities and stimulating trade across Bauchi.

He also noted the completion of the International Conference Centre, which is set to host the maiden Bauchi Investment Summit, expected to draw investors to the state.

“These landmark achievements have transformed the landscape of the state and improved countless lives,” Atiku said, extending his family’s good wishes to the governor.

Mohammed, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has governed Bauchi since 2019.

His administration has focused on infrastructure and investment, earning recognition for positioning Bauchi as a rising economic hub in Nigeria’s northeast, a region long affected by insecurity and underdevelopment.
