Kaduna Community Honours New FRSC Boss, FAAN MD, Gov’s Media Aide

A community development organization with membership of Professors, businessmen, professionals and politicians – Chikaji Gidan Zumunci (CGZ) – has held a special reception in honour of newly appointed Corp Marshal of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Malam Dauda Biu; Managing Director of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Alhaji Kabiru Yusuf, and Senior Special Assistant to Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Abdulkadir.

Chairman of the occasion, Bello Maude (PhD), told the mammoth gathering that the Forum decided to hold the reception “in our true tradition of recognising our illustrious sons who get elevated in their various careers at a very higher level, among others.”

He explained that it was a thing of pride that the Corps Marshal of the FRSC has continued to provide valuable contributions in the realm of job creation to the Chikaji community of Sabon Gari local government area of Kaduna State, at regular intervals.

Speaking about the new Managing Director of FAAN, who also holds the traditional title of Sardaunan Sabon Gari, Maude described him as a symbol of fight against illiteracy in the community, for his sponsorship of education in support of indigent sons and daughters of the community.

Also, he went on to say that the new Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Abdulkadir, fondly called Dambatta, has built a beautiful career in the journalism profession and deserving of his latest elevation.

Guests at the event, notably the former Speaker of Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Aminu Shagali, commended the organisation for “taking the lead in uniting the people of the community regardless of ethnic or religious affinities and encouraging excellence in career pursuits by recognising performance.”

The religious leaders of the community, while praying for the two federal appointees, also commended Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, for choosing a veteran print media practitioner as his Senior Special Assistant in the current dispensation.

A leader of another group in the community, known as Over-50, Malam Rabiu Shehu, charged the three appointees not to relent in their efforts to give back to the society in many folds.

In their respective speeches, the elected representatives in the community assured of their willingness to join hands with the three government appointees in moving the community forward.

In attendance at the event were senior Military and Police, personnel from the community, who have also reached the peak of their professional careers.

Giving a vote of thanks on behalf of the FRSC boss and FAAN MD, the SSA to the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Abdulkadir, expressed gratitude to the CGZ leadership and all those present for the honour done them.

“On behalf of all of us that were honoured today, I wish to express our gratitude to all our community leaders for voluntarily giving their all – in cash and kind – to hold this reception in our honour. By this gesture, we feel encouraged to redouble our efforts in the service of this community and the society at large. It is our conviction that Chikaji Gidan Zumunci is an exemplary silver-lining not just in Kaduna State but the entire North,” he stated.
