A delegation of the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID), has arrived Bauchi State on an appraisal mission to assess ongoing and proposed infrastructure projects across the state.
The delegation led by Mrs. Maïmouna Sidibe was received at the Government House, Bauchi, by Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed.
The visit is a follow-up mission after the governor’s strategic visit to the EBID Headquarters in Lomé, Togo, on 13th November 2025, marking a continuation of discussions held during that engagement and representing a key procedural step in the financing process for identified development projects.
As part of the appraisal exercise, the team inspected major infrastructure projects including the Wunti and Central Market Flyover in Bauchi metropolis, alongside other strategic road and infrastructural developments within the state.
The mission is aimed at reviewing implementation progress, evaluating project scope, and ensuring alignment with the Bank’s financing framework.
While welcoming the delegation, Bala Mohammed reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and prudent utilization of resources.
He noted the projects under review are intended to improve urban mobility, strengthen commercial activities, and expand critical infrastructure across the state.
According to leader of the delegation, the appraisal mission forms part of EBID’s standard due diligence process and provides an opportunity for both parties to assess technical, financial, and operational considerations before the next phase of engagement.
