Counsellor on Infrastructures to Governor Uba Sani has lauded the conferment of National Merit Award by President Bola Tinubu on the Governor of Kaduna State.
Honourable Samaila Suleiman in a statement described the bagging of National Award of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) by Governor Sani as well-deserving and acknowledgement of his struggle and dogged fight along side other pro-democracy figures in restoring democracy to Nigeria.
He added that the award was also a recognition of the Governor’s tireless contributions to the advancement of democracy and national development.
“Governor Uba Sani, widely recognized as one of Nigeria’s heroes of democracy, was detained multiple times during Nigeria’s struggle for democratic governance. His decades-long commitment to justice and civil rights has made him a respected figure in Nigeria’s democratic history.
“Notably, he is the only serving governor included in this year’s national honors list, as announced by President Tinubu during a joint session of the National Assembly. This recognition underscores his unwavering dedication to the good people of Kaduna State and to the progress of the Nigerian nation,”Suleiman stated.
He congratulated the Governor, expressing optimism that the award would propel the Governor to do more for country and humanity.
