I want to appeal to Governor Bala Muhammad of Bauchi State to please complete the abandoned Magama Cattle market project. This is because the market can create more than 10,000 menial jobs when completed, apart from those that will be engaging in buying and selling of cattle.
It’s nearly eight years since the former governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa Yuguda, constructed Magama Gumau cattle market but failed to complete it. The project has been neglected to the extent that some of the erected structures have started collapsing.
The present administration promised to continue with the project, but it has been swept under the carpet. The community, too, wanted to continue it, but could not due to lack of government support and inadequate finance from the community members.

The political misunderstanding that has been lingering between the legislative and executive arms of government in Bauchi State which stalled the presentation of the 2021 appropriation to the State House of Assembly by the governor, Sen. Bala Mohammed last Wednesday may have been politically resolved.
During the plenary of The House on Thursday, two official communications from the Executive Arm were received as Presented by the Majority Leader of the House, Tijjani Muhammad Aliyu revealing that in the first message, the Governor requested the approval of the House to allow him to present the 2021 budget on Tuesday, 15th December 2020 due to the communication gap in the previous letter which the Governor requested for the presentation on Wednesday, 9th December 2020.
