The governor of Bauchi state, Bala Mohammed, has expressed his sadness over the demise of Wazirin Katagum and former Deputy Governor of Bauchi State, Arc. Audu Sule Katagun.
According to him, Katagun’s death has left a vacuum in the state’s political and traditional landscape.
Mohammed described Audu, who died early Monday at Nizamiye Hospital, Abuja, as a loyal and patriotic civil servant who dedicated his life to serving humanity with humility and decorum.
The governor recalled with admiration the invaluable contributions of Katagum during his tenure as deputy governor under the administration of former Governor Mohammed Abubakar, and as Chairman of the Governing Board of the Adamu Tafawa Balewa College of Education, Kangere, in the current administration, where he demonstrated exceptional commitment to good governance, stability, and the overall development of Bauchi State.
Mohammed also emphasised that, beyond politics and public service, the deceased distinguished himself as an accomplished architectural engineer whose professional expertise contributed significantly to the physical growth and infrastructural development of Bauchi State. Through his knowledge, experience, and dedication to excellence, the governor said he played an important role in promoting sustainable development and advancing the state’s environment, leaving behind enduring legacies that will continue to benefit future generations.
