Bauchi State Government has explained photos of large stacks of cash said to be about N20million seen in the office of a state Commissioner, that has been trending on social media.
According to Shamsuddeen Lukman Abubakar, SA Communications to the Governor of Bauchi State, the money was earmarked for feeding during the Ramadan. The money was presented to the people by Commissioner Abdullah Mohammed Idris on behalf of the state governor Mohammed Abdullahi on Wednesday June 15. See the statement below: [b]
“Good evening to the good people of Bauchi state. It has come to my attention, the circulation of certain photographs online of money found on the table of a serving Commissioner of Bauchi state. I wish to assure you all that, the said picture is no implication of corruption or illegal money transactions.
This period of Ramadan teaches us to extend love to the poor, less privileged and the non buoyant. In line with this, and as has always been done, the Bauchi State Government releases funds to mosques in Bauchi state for the provision of iftar to faithfuls. These funds are disbursed through the Office of the Commissioner for Religious Affairs, to assist faithfuls who are not buoyant enough to afford iftar.
Once again, we understand the insensitivity of the image, surfacing at a time like this when we as a Government are working hard to achieve a corruption-free and transparent administration.
We want to assure the good people of Bauchi state that all and sundry is being done to make the best use of resources, fight corruption within the State and ensure that all our promises to the people are fully delivered.
May Allah crown our efforts with success.

My eyes are bulging out oo

These people never ceases to amuse me, in the present age, displaying huge amount of cash in a public office. What ever happened to Emoney.

End shall never wonders

A believable lie

Just tell us that u wanna share it

can this CHANGE MANTRA mean anything in the North?

Governance and Religion shouldn't mix, government is not an individual to give alms. Even if some mosque is to be empowered, there are better ways of doing it. How are we sure that money will be used as appropriated.
My Naija.

I doubt if the money will be used for the said purpose

very corrupt people d governor and d people surrounding him, he can only talks without doing anything

very insensitive indeed
