Speaking on job creation in the state, Adamu said the state had  the capacity to make use of the vast,  endowed hectares of lands in the state for farming, thereby creating job opportunities for the people.
He said: “Bauchi state has the capacity to turn all the thousands of hectares of land in the state GREEN all year round, utilising them for growing various food and cash crops.
