Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed swears in the newly elected chairmen of the state’s 20 local government areas. The oath is administered during a ceremony at the Government House in Bauchi on Tuesday, following local government elections held across the state.

Vanguard reports that the State Chief Judge, Justice Rabi Talatu Umar, administers the oath of office to the chairmen. The Daily Post Nigeria also describes the swearing-in at the Government House and highlights remarks by the governor. In his address, Bala Mohammed urges the new chairmen to manage local government resources responsibly.

Both outlets agree on the key details of the swearing-in: the number of chairmen (20), the location (Government House, Bauchi), the timing (Tuesday), and that the event follows the state’s local government elections. Daily Post Nigeria adds that the governor warns against corruption and misuse of public funds, while Vanguard focuses more on the ceremony and the role of the Chief Judge.
