Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has approved the appointment of a 41-member high-powered committee to oversee the creation of new emirates, chiefdoms, and districts within the state.
This development follows an earlier call by the state government inviting interested communities to submit memoranda requesting the creation of such traditional and administrative entities.
According to a press release signed by the special adviser on media and publicity to the Governor, Mukhtar Gidado, the committee will evaluate all submissions in accordance with defined criteria to ensure fairness, equity, and financial sustainability of the emirates, chiefdoms, and districts.
