The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has stated that the Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS) is in danger due to poor leadership.
Speaking at Christ Church College, University of Oxford, during ECOWAS’ 50th anniversary on May 9, 2025, Mohammed said the region is suffering from a “crisis of governance” that is affecting people’s lives daily.
Mohammed pointed to reforms in Bauchi State, especially in education, health, infrastructure, and economic empowerment, as proof that good governance is possible when leaders are transparent and accountable.
