Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger state, has said that his administration continued with some government policies and abandoned projects of previous administrations in order to put the state on the path of greatness.
The Governor stated this when he received the former Commissioners Forum on a visit to the Government House, Minna.
He said it is unfortunate that the state, since the return of democracy, has been characterised by witch-hunting, persecution, lack of continuity in the implementation of government policies and insecurity.
Umaru Bago explained that under his administration, the state is witnessing a new beginning through the New Niger Agenda, which is centred on accountability and responsibility.
He revealed that his administration is working tirelessly to address the challenges facing serving and retired civil servants, stressing that they deserve their entitlements for paying their dues to the state.
The Governor commended a former Governor of the State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, whom he described as a great leader who implemented various people-oriented policies during his tenure.
Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Professor Mohammed Yahaya Kuta, said the group, comprising former Commissioners and retired Permanent Secretaries who served during the Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu administration between 2007 and 2015, decided to align with Governor Bago in recognition of his achievements and his efforts to sustain some of the former Governor’s Projects
