From Ahmad Muhammad, Bauchi
Former Nigeria’s President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has commissioned the multi billion Naira newly constructed Sir Ahmadu Bello International Conference Center Bauchi.
Commissioning the the conference center before the flag off of the Bauchi Investment summit, Chief Obasanjo commended Governor Bala Mohammed for executing developmental projects and programmes that have direct bearings in the lives of the citizens.
“In terms of developing Bauchi state, I was happy with what I saw and what I heard, I didn’t know that it will not be too long before you will invite me here”, Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo who described the edifice as a symbol of progress under Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration, emphasized the importance of global integration, stressing that no nation can live in isolation without engaging meaningfully with the rest of the world.
The former president said that the developmental initiatives being implemented by the government, particularly in infrastructure would enhance Bauchi’s capacity to host international events and attract investors.
The former president said such facilities promote unity and economic growth, adding that Nigeria must continue to position itself as an active participant in global affairs.
