The statement party read: “Following several inquiries by the press, the attention of the Bauchi State Government has been drawn to what it considers unfounded concerns of key spokesmen of gov-elect, Senator Bala Mohammed.

“Towards the tail end of last week, these spokesmen went to town with the story that the outgoing government of MA Abubakar is deliberately, bloating the state labour force by recruiting more personnel at the eleventh hour.

“They inferred that the government of the day is deliberately doing that as a trap for the incoming government.”

Abubakar said that what actually happened was an internal transfer of personnel within the existing labour force to meet the accreditation requirements of some tertiary institutions in Bauchi.

The statement reveal that some of such institutions include College of Legal Studies, Misau, College of Education, Azare, College of Education, Kangere, Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, Bauchi and College of Agriculture, Bauchi.
