The Dean of Communication and Media Studies, Fati Lami Abubaakar Institute of Legal and Administrative Studies (FLAILAS), Dr. Muhammad Abdullahi Hassan, has applauded Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger State for the unprecedented achievements recorded within the shortest period of his administration, describing him as somebody who has a passion for developing the state.
Dr. Hassan, who spoke while speaking with a Newsline reporter in an interview in his office at Kpankugu Minna, discussed the activities of the governor of the state since his assumption of office on May 29 last year.
According to him, there has been no administration that has embarked on this type of massive infrastructural development since the creation of Niger State in 1976, like what Governor Mohammed Bago was doing in all nooks and crannies of the state within his short life span, pointing out that his impressive giant strides of achievements must be commended.
The communication expert who earlier scored governor Umaru Bago high in the development of the state also commended him for the approval of N50,000.00 as a scholarship to students of the state across all institutions in the country, which, according to him, has since commenced with one of his children as a beneficary.
He said that such has not been done in the state in the past years and prayed to God to continue to protect and guide him, for him to live long and continue with the good works he has started in the state, while calling on all Nigerlites to pray for him as well as support his administration with the view to moving the state forward.
Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger State has unveiled a new official seal of the state government, marking a significant moment in the history of the state.
In a statement highlighting the features, significance, and importance of the seal initiated by the governor, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Bologi Ibrahim, described the event as ceremonial, filled with renewed hope and symbolism.
He said the new seal, which was meticulously crafted and designed, embodies the core values and aspirations of the government and its people.
According to him, the features of the seal consist of a political map of the state, underground and surface water bodies including hydro dams, agriculture, and mineral resources that abound in the state, and a powerful emblem representing the federating unit and its people among the diverse communities that make up the largest black nation, Nigeria.
He said that surrounding the centrepiece of the seal were additional symbols, each carrying its own significance and meaning, rooted in the rich history and traditions of the largest state occupying ten percent of the landmass of Nigeria.
The governor's spokesman further explained that the seal serves as a visual representation of the government's commitment to advancement, transparency, and inclusivity.
He said the colours, shapes, and symbols woven into the design speak volumes about the values that farmer governor Umaru Bago upholds and the direction in which he aims to lead the state.
The CPS observed that the seal was not merely a decorative emblem but a powerful symbol that will grace official documents, buildings, and podiums, reminding all who see it of the unity and heritage of the state.
He said that in the weeks and months to come, the new seal will become a familiar sight to citizens and visitors alike, a constant reminder of the values that shape governance and the vision that propels the state forward.
The CPS said the unveiling of the new seal was met with applause and admiration from attendees.
According to him, the new seal stands as a testament to the past, a reflection of the present, and a beacon guiding the state towards a brighter future for all.
As the new government seal takes its place as a revered symbol of the state, the CPS called on all citizens to embrace it with pride and honour, knowing that it represents not just a government but a people united in purpose and determined to build a better tomorrow for generations to come.
