Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has ordered the immediate renovation of Tafare Primary School and the prompt restoration of electricity supply to Tafare community in Alkaleri Local Government Area.
The governor gave the directive on Tuesday during an unscheduled stop in the community while en route to Alkaleri as part of his end-of-year holiday visit to his hometown.
Residents of Tafare had earlier halted the governor’s convoy to draw his attention to the prolonged absence of electricity and the dilapidated condition of Tafare Primary School, the only primary school serving the community.
Responding to the appeal, Governor Mohammed visited the school to assess the situation firsthand and expressed concern over the state of the facilities and the hardship faced by residents due to the lack of power supply.
Following the inspection, the governor directed the relevant ministry to immediately commence renovation works at the school to ensure a conducive learning environment for pupils.
He also ordered appropriate authorities to urgently restore electricity to the community, assuring residents that his administration remains committed to improving access to education and basic infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.
Governor Mohammed reiterated his administration’s resolve to respond promptly to the needs of the people and to ensure that no community is left behind in the state’s development drive.
The residents of Tafare expressed appreciation to the governor for his swift intervention and pledged their continued support for his administration.
