The Bauchi State Commissioner for Works and Transport, Titus Saul Ketkukah has tackled the former governors of the state for allegedly neglecting and failing to develop the Tapshin community, especially during their tenure.

He insisted that it is only in governor Bala’s administration that the said Tapshin community is receiving developmental attention.

According to him, the Governor, since coming to office in 2019, ensured that each and every community feels the positive impact of his administration.

The commissioner stated that Bala Mohammed has turned his community to become a city by constructing the Boi-Tapshin road, including a standard bridge that links Bauchi state with Plateau state from that axis.

Ketkukah who made this known during his thanksgiving service at the Church of Christ In Nation’s (COCIN) LCC Tapshin in Tafawa-Baleawa local government area of Bauchi State, described governor Bala as a humble and transparent leader.

He explained that, with the bridge and the road constructed by the State governor, business activities have become easier and more profitable compared to the past.

He praised God for the opportunity to serve, and for His wisdom, strength, guidance, protection and more years ahead.
