Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State recently marked a significant milestone with a reunion of his primary school classmates from the Class of 1971.

The event, hosted at his residence in Bauchi, was a heartfelt celebration of enduring friendships and the lasting impact of early connections.

The governor and his classmates, some of whom had not seen each other in decades, spent the afternoon reminiscing about their school days, sharing stories, and laughing over memories that shaped their youth.

Mohammed emphasized the importance of maintaining personal connections, even for those in positions of power, noting that “leadership is not just about making decisions for others, but about staying connected to those who helped shape you.”

This reunion was a testament to the power of friendship and the value of staying grounded in one’s roots.

Mohammed said: “This reunion is not only about revisiting the past, it is about celebrating the bonds that have endured, and recognising that no matter where life takes us, the values of kindness, loyalty, and shared experiences guide us.”
