Joel Ajayi
Director General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps,Rt.Hon.Yusuf Buba Yakub,has described Comrade Mustapha Salihu,who is the Northeast Zonal Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as a man of deep intellect and great wisdom,virtues, he says, are beneficial to both Adamawa State and Nigeria at large.
The NTAC boss ,who lauded Comrade Salihu’s zeal for continuous academic laurels, following his recent call to the Nigerian Bar at the Law School in Bwari,stated the above today in a congratulatory message he personally signed and sent to the Zonal Party Leader in Abuja. Buba added that the Party Leader’s lifestyle filled with a constant quest for academic laurels,was to make leadership better and to inspire many Nigerian youth to acquire the kind of education that would perpetually liberate the nation from poverty.
Part of the message reads:
“I feel most excited to rejoice with you,members of your family,our Senatorial Zone and indeed,the good and great people of our State,Adamawa,for the laudable completion of your Law Degree programme and your participation in the well-deserved Call-to-Bar exercise.
“Indeed,the addition of this newest academic feather to your cap is nothing short of a quality icing on the cake of a brilliant academic sojourn spanning many years already replete with outstanding laurels in diverse fields of learning and professionalism.
“While I acknowledge how much you have laboured to pursue and acquire knowledge in diverse fields of learning, including Politics and Leadership these past years,I am reminded that, in a nation like ours,where academic laurels are, unfortunately,currently being pushed to the back burners of our social life in favour of the quest for material lucre,our youth need people like you as veritable sources of inspiration to attain the quality of academic heights every society truly aspires to have in order to entrench the kind of generational wealth that defeats poverty perpetually.
“I, therefore,congratulate you as an inspiring beacon of academic excellence,a complete leadership figure and a man of outstanding wisdom and letters, as in the time of old,who will no doubt continue to point out to our nation’s youth the way to go.Surely,we will find a day as brothers, friends, colleagues and well-wishers to celebrate the tangible footprint you have left on the turf of academics globally.
“For myself and my family,and on behalf of the Management and staff of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps,which by the grace of God and the kind magnanimity of our dear President I currently head,I convey to you,Leader and our own very dear Comrade,our enormous congratulations on this new achievement”,the piece concludes.
