The Emir of Kano, His Royal Majesty, Aminu Ado Bayero, has appealed to Nigerians to show passion and commitment to the development of education and sports.
In an interaction with newsmen about his experience in Delta State, with a royal tour of Mount Ned Tourism Hub and Sports University, accompanied by the Dein of Agbor, HRM Keagborekuzi 1, he said such acts of service would never be forgotten in history.
While stressing that the visit was one he would live to cherish as a centre of culture and civilization, he said, “There is no difference between us as a people; from North to South. We are Nigerians who value relationships, greatness and togetherness of our nation.
“I must confess that the hospitality given to us by Prince Ned Nwoko was awesome and wonderful; and I will always remember this experience,” Ado Bayero recounted.
Reflecting on the Sports University in Idumuje-Ugboko, which he earlier inspected from Nwoko’s Palatial Castle, the 15th Emir of Kano, commended the philanthropist for his foresight and patriotism in establishing the first Sports University in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, HRM Keagborekuzi 1 said he accompanied the Emir of Kano to visit his brother and friend, Prince Ned Nwoko for cultural integration and promotion of national unity.
He said they discussed what is needed and best for Nigeria, counselling that it was important for Nigerians to see themselves as one people.
In his welcome remarks, Prince Nwoko appreciated the Emir of Kano for the royal visit.
Nwoko also eulogized the Dein of Agbor for standing by him always and assisting in making the right decisions as a proud son of Anioma.
He pledged never to let the traditional institution down in the collective quest to build a new Nigeria that would be beneficial to the present and future generations.
