Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday was in Bauchi, Northern Nigeria to commission projects built and completed by Governor Mohammed Abubakar.
Amongst other projects commissioned, the Vice President visited Barra, in Ningi Local Government Area of the state where he commissioned an electrification project that will power 22 villages in the environs.
He was accompanied by Governor Abubakar who stated that the contract for the project was awarded at the cost of N589.79 million.
Also in attendance was the Federal Inland Revenue Chairman, Mr. Babtunde Fowler.
Giving the vote of thanks, the Emir of Ningi, Alh Yunusa Danyaya, commended the federal and state governments for citing various projects in the area.
Danyaya called for the creation of Burra Local Government Area out of the present Ningi Local Government Area of the state.
He also called on the Federal Government to allocate more projects to the area, considering its high population.
The Vice President who was overwhelmed by the outpouring of joy and support from the Emir and people of Bauchi also commissioned a shared facility for Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) and the Bauchi State Health Contributory scheme.
He also had his unique Family Chat in the home of Muhammed Musa Usman, one of the outstanding MSMEs entrepreneurs identified during the MSME Clinic organized in Bauchi State in October 2018.

During his chat, he lauded Mr. Usman who previously was a scrap collector, now makes Suya grilling machines from scrap metals.
He also makes belts and shoes using abandoned tires. He currently employs seven people on his books and is looking to expand his business to further support his community.
The Vice President assured the people of Bauchi that President Muhammadu Buhari will make good his promise on making Nigeria a better place for all.
He said the Federal Government will continue its people-oriented policies and will ensure that Nigeria works for Nigerians. The visit coincides with a dusk to dawn curfew imposed on four communities located on the outskirts of Bauchi metropolis following breach of the peace in those areas.

The vice president never takes any state for granted, he spreads the love equally and he is definitely loved everywhere. God bless him for this. No one dies it better
Am happy for the people of Bauchi state in general and Ningi LGA in particular.
God bless PYO too,the warm reception shows how he’s loved.Weldon our Starboy.
Good leadership will always produce better followers. Buharl/Osinbajo had laid template for good governance and that has been the standard everyone is following now. Hardly you will hear governors or people designated to do a project and divert the money into their private account all because of good leadership and that is what we witnessed in Bauchi State. Sir, you have brought development and growth to Nigeria within the space of years you’ve governed Nigerians and I must say well done and God will strengthen you the more.
This is a great job for Governor Muhammed Abubakar for this project and a big thanks for the Professor Osinbajo for the commissioning of the project.
