He assured members of civil society of his commitment to upholding the highest standard of discipline and accountability and to elevating KONGONET above where his predecessor, Ambassador Idris Ozovehe Muraina, has taken it, saying he cannot afford to lower the standard.

Comrade Aliyu, who stated this weekend, during a get-together organised in honour of the immediate past chairperson of KONGONET, Ambassador Idris Ozovehe Muraina, solicited the cooperation and collaboration of members of the civil society in the state to ensure better and robust civil society engagements in all sectors of the economy.

Members of the civil society groups, in their various speeches, eulogised Ambassador Muraina for his leadership qualities, particularly his patience and transparency as former Chairperson of KONGONET, which they said has brought the organisation to the limelight.

They called on the incumbent chairperson, Hamza Aliyu, to continue promoting inclusivity and collaboration, which they said accounted for his predecessor’s success.
