President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his warmest felicitation to the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa, on the joyous occasion of his 75th birthday.
“The President rejoices with the family of the foremost traditional ruler, the Adamawa Emirate and the government and people of Adamawa State as the Lamido celebrates a life of service to his community,’’ Mr. Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), said in a statement on Thursday.
President Buhari recalls Alhaji Musdafa’s remarkable career in the Nigerian Customs Service, the Nigerian Ports Authority and the civil service of the old Gongola State, during which he displayed uncommon commitment to integrity and honesty.
