For continuous sterling performance and consistent development strides, Governor M. A. Abubakar of Bauchi State was on Saturday awarded the Vanguard Governor of the Year 2017 Award.
Abubakar said he accepted the award on behalf of the great people of Bauchi State.
He said Vanguard was a credible organisation whose award cannot be trivialised.
He said the award is a testament that when one is motivated to work for the people, the unbiased will appreciate the effort made and even political detractors cannot deny the wave of development happening in the state.
This award is coming at a time when Bauchi State in less than four years has made giant strides in areas such as Education, Infrastructural Development, Health, Youth and Women, Tourism and Agriculture.
