He described the award as unique among the numerous others he had received during his career in public service because of the special place ABU occupies in his heart.

The GMD was honoured with the award alongside other eminent alumni such as Boss Mustapha, the secretary to the government of the federation, and the governors of Nassarawa and Kebbi States, Tanko Almakura and Atiku Bagudu, at the ABU Alumni Association’s 2018 Public Lecture and Award Dinner which held over the weekend at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
