Bauchi Govt denies budgeting N400m for 6 Computers
By Mohammed Kaka Misau
Bauchi state government has denied reports insinuating that it budgeted N400 million for six computers in the 2025 appropriation.
The government which made the denial in a press statement by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Aminu Hammayo yesterday, described the allegations as a Lie from the Pit of Hell.
“The ludicrous claim that the Bauchi State Government has allocated N400 million in the 2025 budget to purchase six computers for the office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) is nothing but a pedestrian and intellectually bankrupt propaganda effort”, the statement said.
The SSG further noted: “This absurd fabrication not only exposes the non-existent intellectual capacity of its sponsors but also underscores their desperation to smear the sterling reputation of Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration with baseless accusations”.
According to the Bauchi state government, the proposed budget allocates N250 million for the procurement of IT infrastructure, which includes approximately 150 computers to be distributed across the SSG office, Bauchi Environmental Protection Agency, Hajj Commission, Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Service, and select secondary schools in Bauchi State, amongst others.
Hamayyo added that the initiative underscores Governor Bala Mohammed administration’s unwavering commitment to modernizing critical institutions and advancing the digital transformation of the state.
“The preposterous narrative of N400 million for six computers is nothing more than a lie from the pit of hell, concocted by detractors rattled by the administration’s remarkable developmental achievements”, the SSG disclosed.
He said that the critics’ failure to come up with something remotely credible reveals their desperation and outright ineptitude.
Hamayyo who said Bauchi State will not be swayed by the antics, stressed that it will rather remained steadfast in its mission to deliver impactful, progressive governance for its people.
