The current administration in Bauchi State has so far recovered 72 cars and a number of generator sets
allegedly looted by officials of the past government.

The state governor, Mohammed Abubakar, disclosed
this to State House correspondents on Wednesday
shortly after meeting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Abubakar recalled that he had earlier set up a
committee headed by a retired military officer to
recover all government property taken away by former
officials..

He said the committee was part of the steps being
taken by his administration in line with his inaugural
speech to the people of the state in which he promised
zero tolerance for corruption.

He said, “Ours was the first state to set up a
committee with a retired air force general to recover
property of government that were frittered away by
officials of the former regime.
“And in terms of vehicles, we have recovered 72 earlier
taken away from the government.

“We have recovered quite a number of generators. At a
point, 60 generators were bought by the former
government and they distributed them to their friends,
associates and I ordered for the retrieval of all them.
“I have on the onset from my maiden speech declared
zero tolerance to corruption and that is the way we are
going.”

Abubakar said he had already signed a register in his
state in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
ongoing anti-corruption war.
He said he was the first governor to sign the register
which he said was produced my some young men in
support of the government’s anti-graft war.

The governor who said his administration inherited five
months salary arrears and N14bn unpaid gratuities
noted that his state was part of those that benefited
from the recent Federal Government’s bailouts.

“My state was part of the states that got the bailout. I
inherited five months of unpaid salaries, I inherited
N14bn gratuities unpaid between local governments
and the state, and therefore I am one of the states that
have applied to be assisted by the Federal Government
of Nigeria.

“We are awaiting the finalisation of whatever will
come. But I have kept faith with the civil service since
I have taken over from the meager resources we have
been generating and I have been paying salaries,” he
said.
