    Bauchi stateBauchi state Governor, Senator Ball Muhammed has disclosed that he shall involve tehnocrats in the running of his administration.

    Senator Muhammed made this dislcosure while receiving the report from the Economic Advisory Committee he put in place.

    “I will bring in technocrats to implement this economic blueprint, in collaboration with the private sector, because there is need for partnership to open new frontiers, guided by global best practices.

    “We have consulted some of the best technocrats in the country to show us the way; we will continue to do so, even though, sometimes, we will consider political expediency,’’ the governor said.

    Meanwhile the Economic Advisory Committee  has advised the state government to focus more on Agriculture.

    The Committe headed by Prof. Usman Bugaje made this recommendation in its report it submitted to the state Governor.

    Agriculture is an area where Bauchi has a comparative advantage to grow faster than others, so we implore you as governor to focus more in this area.

    “In the next two years, we are looking at a Bauchi State that will export products to different parts of the world, and that will serve as reference point to other states,’’ Prof.  Bugaje stated.
