Kachia community in southern Kaduna State, has honored Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai and their kinsman, Alhaji Murtala Muhammad Dabo, the Executive Chairman, Kaduna State Fiscal Responsibility Commission, in appreciation of their services.

The community organized the event under the auspices of Kachia Political Forum, KPF, in honour of Dabo, who they said, has done so much to develop Kachia community “right from his days in the private sector till today.”

Dr. Sabiu Suleiman, District Head of Kachia, used the occasion where Dabo bagged multiple awards from different community groups, to announce the chieftaincy title of Sakin Yakin Kachia for Governor Nasir El-Rufai, his principal.
Speaking on the occasion,the Chairman, KPF, Mallam Isiyaku Musa, explained that the Forum which is multi-partisan, multi-religious and multi-ethnic decided to honor the Fiscal Responsibility Commission Chairman for standing tall in service to humanity and Kachia Local Government in all areas he had found himself.

According to Musa, “It should be known here that, whatever one is doing, people are watching him. KPF will continue to assess and recognize those visionary leaders, who are focused on peace-building and development, and have distinguished themselves by contributing to the growth of humanity and society particularly, in Kachia Local Government in whatever area of responsibilities the found themselves either as elected or appointed office holders.

“Distinguished guests, It is in the light of this, that Kachia Political Forum is recognizing one of our illustrious sons in the person of Mallam Murtala Dabo who stand tall in his service to humanity. At several attempts made to recognize this distinguished personality, he would always argue that, what one did for God should be left for God and the rewards is in heaven, but at the third and last attempt, we were able to convince him that this award would serve as inspiration to emerging leaders and motivation to those already occupying various positions to affect people’s lives positively.

He added, “Over the years, our worthy son has remained committed to charity, philanthropy and empowerment of people, especially of those from his constituency. He is an active contributor and benefactor to Kachia Educational Development Association (KEDA) and Kachia Community Development Association (KCDA).

“His genuine concern for the less privileged in the society, led him to establish the “MURTALA DABO WOMEN EMPOWNERMENT SCHEME” aimed at empowering women. Since inception, over 545 women, have benefitted from this scheme, which is uplifting many less-privileged families and Orphans in Kachia community and environs. Through his contributions and sacrifice towards community and social development in Kachia, he has, supported many young men and women with financial support to pursue their education, most often using the KEDA platform.

“Murtala Dabo also facilitated job opportunities for the teeming youths from Kachia, including the employment of Kachia youths in the corporate world and various MDAs, e.g. Zenith Bank, Health, KASTLEA etc. He also ensured that our location and people benefit from federal and state programmes and interventions, credit facilities and Small scale businesses. Other interventions include cooks under the school feeding programme, tailors for school uniforms and special public works.I

“In the area of infrastructure, Murtala Dabo enthusiastically monitored the construction and completion of the 10 kilometres of road across the Kachia Local Government Headquarters. He strongly supported the construction of Ladduga 20km road. He also facilitated the proposed reconstruction of Kachia Modern Market, all in line with the vision of His Excellency, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai.

“In the education sector, this consummate administrator was passionate on the rehabilitation and upgrading of Government Secondary School, Kachia to a boarding school; the total renovation and construction of 24 class rooms in L.E.A 1 Model Primary School and LEA 2 Primary School, Kachia and the rehabilitation of B.A.T.C, ” he said.

Also speaking on the occasion, the District Head of Kachia expressed gratitude to Governor El Rufai, for the opportunity given their son to serve in his administration, saying the people of Kachia are beneficiaries of his pragmatic leadership and magnanimity, especially in area of roads, schools, health and human development.
He however said the district has resolved to, in addition to the award given to the Governor by the KPF, honour him with the traditional title of Sarkin Yakin Kachia in appreciation of his service to the people of the District.

In his response, Dabo expressed appreciation to his principal, El-Rufai, the Deputy Governor and Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, for the opportunity given to him to serve in the government. He also thanked the Kachia people for recognizing the little he has been able to do for the upliftment of his community.

According to Dabo, “I thank you for being appreciative of the good works H.E. Mallam Nasir El Rufai is doing for our dear community and people. I must however, correct the records by giving credit to whom it is due. The rightful owner of these awards and honour is H.E. Mallam Nasir El-Rufai who has brought remarkable progress both physical, and otherwise to Kaduna State, including Kachia. I have only been privileged to be called by him, to serve, in my little capacity over these years.

“Therefore, I wish to express my profound gratitude to His Excellency, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the Governor of Kaduna State. His vision brought to reality, has greatly transformed Kaduna State, putting it on a global footing. It is for the magnificent works he is doing in Kaduna State and Kachia, that we are gathered here today.

This reception/ award ceremony would not have been possible without the unrelenting Governor, who is working untiringly, together with his Deputy and capable officials, to Make Kaduna Great Again,” Dabo said.
