Bala Mohammed said the Federal Government’s economic reforms had given states more resources and opportunities for improved development.

Taiwo Oyedele and Ali Pate visited Mohammed in Bauchi; Pate said completed health projects would be commissioned.

Pate said ten such facilities had been established; eight completed centres nationwide were also scheduled for commissioning.

Mohammed said two military battalions in Alkaleri and Tafawa Balewa had helped restore peace and enable displaced residents’ return.

We are always proud of this kind of partnership. We, as subnationals, are always looking forward to the Federal Government bringing good things to us. We don’t always oppose and criticise for the sake of criticising. When we see good things, we say it. The President has done so well in so many aspects, especially in the area of finance, because the states are getting more.
— Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, speaking in Bauchi during a courtesy visit by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Taiwo Oyedele and the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare Prof Ali Pate
