“A Man does not build or plant a tree for himself; He does so for Posterity.”
Having beamed our lens of scrutiny on Public office holders, we the fifth realm of the estate, has found worthy of mention the Executive Chairmam of Abuja Municipal Area Council. Hon. Abdullahi Adamu as the Civil Society Icon of the Month of January.
In a country like ours, where public office holders basks in the euphoria their position brings, to scheme and mishandle funds, neglect duties delegated to them and chose mediocrity as a starting and ending point, Hon. Abdullahi Candido after a detailed independent assessment, choose to stand different as he during his first four years in office, has done tremendously well and achieved great feat worthy of resounding applause and due exposure.
The report under-listed have been confirmed by the Executives and members of Civil Society Group for Good Governance after an independent evaluation and assessment.
Biography:
Hon. Abdullahi Adamu Candido born 1968 in Jiwa Emirate is a charismatic and visionary leader, who started his early education in L.E.A Primary School Jiwa before proceeding to the Niger Baptist College Minna for his Secondary Education. Hon. Abdullahi Adamu attended the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and the University of Maiduguri.
Candido, who assumed office in May 2016, has achieved great feats in improving the revenue of the area council and wellbeing of his people, in spite of the dwindling economic situation in the country. PIN particularly noted that the AMAC chairman is much focused and will, no doubt, bring honour and glory to local government administration in the country, given his cognate experience as a former staff of AMAC.
