Bauchi Governor Appoints Chinese National As Economic Adviser

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has appointed Chinese national Li Zhensheng as Economic Adviser to the state.

The appointment was announced during the signing of an MoU with the China Global Promotion Cooperation Research Centre in Bauchi.

The deal aims to position the state as a hub for international cooperation, attracting investment in agriculture, education, healthcare, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and trade.

Under the agreement, Bauchi will establish a representative office in China to monitor projects and ensure timely delivery. Mohammed said the partnership aligns with bilateral ties between Presidents Xi Jinping and Bola Tinubu, and would boost jobs, skills, infrastructure, and the state’s global profile.

Zhensheng, who chairs the research centre, pledged to mobilise resources for Bauchi’s economic transformation and improve livelihoods.
