Governor Bala Muhammed of Bauchi State has expressed the readiness of the state government to partner with the Federal Government to address socio-economic challenges facing the state.
The governor stated this when he briefed State House correspondents after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja.
Muhammed, who defeated an incumbent governor under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mohammed Abubakar at the last gubernatorial election in the state, said the people of Bauchi had no option than to support and cooperate with the Buhari administration.
To this end, the governor expressed the willingness of the state to participate fully in the Ruga Settlement scheme of the federal government.
Muhammed maintained that the people of the state, whom he said, love President Buhari more than any other person in Nigeria, would continue to work with the federal government to ensure speedy socio-economic transformation of the country.
