Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, on Friday evening, signed into law, a Bill establishing the Bauchi State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission in the State.

Speaking shortly after the signing of the bill, the governor said that with the establishment of the commission, no case of corruption would be overlooked at the State and the local government levels in the State.

According to him, the signing of the law was part of the effort of his administration to take advantage of the federal structure of the country as enshrined in the constitution which gave States the latitude to duplicate functions that are also performed by federal agencies.

“Today marks another milestone in the drive of our government towards entrenching transparency and accountability in governance.

“As you are all aware, there are already existing federal and state government agencies that play complementary roles in the service delivery in both the social and economic sectors.
