Bauchi Governor Appoints Elder Brother as Emir Amidst Emirate Restructuring

The Governor of Bauchi State, Alhaji Adamu Moham, has appointed his elder brother, Alhaji Adamu Moham, as the Emir of the newly created Duguri Emir. This move comes as part of a broader initiative to establish 111 district heads across the state.

The appointment ceremony was held on October 24, 2025, with the State Secretary to the Government presenting the letter on behalf of the Governor. Additionally, other emirs and chiefs have been appointed in northeastern Nigeria, signaling a significant restructuring in traditional leadership.

The decision to reinstate the Emir of Gaya and appoint new emirs reflects ongoing changes in the region's traditional governance structure.
