President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on the conferment of the title of “Dan Amana,” (the trusted one) on him by the Daura Emirate Council.
The president’s congratulatory message is contained in a statement issued by one of his media aides, Malam Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja.
He described the conferment of the title on Amaechi as a clear commitment to the harmonious relationship between the nation’s diverse cultures.
The Transport Minister is conferred the title because of his contributions to the development of Daura emirate which includes among others, the siting of the maiden Transport University in Daura, the new rail line from Kanu with a terminus in Daura.
President Buhari commended the Minister “for working with enormous energy to make the CHANGE we promised Nigerians a reality,” noting that “the change we are witnessing in the transport sector is an extraordinary legacy.”
Another nominee along with Rotimi Ameachi turbaned on Saturday is Malam Nasiru Danu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Buhari also congratulated the two-time Director-General of his election campaigns, Malam Nasiru Danu, on the conferment of the chieftaincy title of Tafida Babba of Daura on him by the Daura Emirate Council.
The statement said the President had designated a delegation of three, made up of the Ministers of Water Resources, Sulaiman Adamu, Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, and the Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) Garba Shehu to represent him at the event.
