The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has declared its readiness to assist Bauchi state with technical assistance to achieve its objectives in the educational reform.
This was disclosed by a top official of the agency Mariam Britel when she led other officials of the global organisation on an advocacy visit to Governor Bala Mohammed at the Government House, Bauchi.
She said USAID has been working in Bauchi state for the last 10 years in the priority areas, hence the need to support the state government’s ongoing educational reform in order to achieve the desired objectives.
The USAID official appreciated the unwavering commitment of the administration of Governor Bala Mohammed towards the educational development in the state and urged him to sustain the relationship with the organisation for more interventions.
Responding, Governor Bala Mohammed acknowledged the USAID’s interventions in Bauchi particularly in the areas of capacity building for human capital development, educational infrastructure among others and promised to utilise the opportunity for the best interest of the state and its people.
To this end, the Governor said with the assurance of providing technical assistance by USAID, the state government will soon commence the implementation of the recommendations of the educational summit conducted by his administration as contained in a statement by Mukhtar Gidado, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Bauchi Governor.
