The immediate past minister of communications and digital economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami has been conferred with Award of Excellence in Abuja.
The award came from Qausain TV and was conferred on him by the organisation’s national president, Malam Nasir Musa Albanin Agege during their visit to the former minister at his Abuja residence.
During the presentation of the award, Albanin Agege said that the former minister deserved the award because of his numerous contributions to the development of the communications and digital economy sector when he was minister.
He said it is also in recognition of the laudable policies developed by the ministry under the supervision of the former minister and for repositioning Nigeria’s digital economy sector on the path of sustainable development.
“The award was in recognition of the former minister’s efforts in the formulation and implementation of policies to accelerate the digitisation of the nation’s economy,” he added.
While receiving the award, Pantami thanked Qausain TV for recognising his modest achievements in the communications and digital economy sector.
He also commended Qausain TV for its quality and good services to humanity in Nigeria and beyond.
“I actually knew Qausain as a Nigerian popular based satellite TV station with numerous viewers glued to the multi-lingual programmes shown in Hausa, English and Arabic for almost three years,” he said.
“I also knew Albani so many years ago, he is a hardworking young man with a digital initiative. He was the first Nigerian I know that created a platform on Play Store and Apple,” he added.
While congratulating Qausain national president for his commitment, he also appealed to the youth to work for the betterment of Nigeria and Nigerians.
The event was graced by the former minister’s family and friends as well as a high-powered delegation of the Qausain TV.
