By Musa Azare and translated by Muhammad Sagir Bauchi
In a democratic setting, it is norm that people criticize the custodians of their political and economic affairs. This criticism is what will call the attention of the leaders to purposeful leadership and good governance that will enhance the living standard of the populace. On the other hand, criticism is the bedrock of the opposition.
I was elated when the critiques of the present adminstration of Governor Bala Muhammad, particularly those from the opposition party of APC, challenged me to make public the list of three hundred and twenty three (323) Primary Health Cares (PHC) I claimed that were either built, renovated or upgraded under NSHIP Scheme. Base on that, I took it is a duty to present them in order to testify my claim. Furthermore, this is actually commendable from the side of the critiques, for, I believe that both the critiques and all of us in the state government have something in common, that is the development of Bauchi State.
So, below are the specific names of PHCs built, renovated or upgraded, together with the number of centers awarded to each and every Local government of the state by the adminstration of Kaura;
