He also sought for continued government’s support to properly police the state which he said will guarantee peace and attract investors to the state especially with the ongoing oil exploration in the state.
While responding, Governor Abubakar welcome the new police commissioner to the state saying that Bauchi has transformed from a crisis-prone state to the most peaceful and secure state in the Northeast.
He said that the state has been enjoying relative peace with no serious incidence in the last four year.
