Etsu of Nupe, His Royal Highness, Yahaya Abubakar, has conferred the traditional chieftaincy of AJIYAN Nupe ( treasury keeper) on the State Commissioner for Finance, Alhaji Zakari Abubakar.
The king, who bestowed the title on Abubaker, late Saturday night, at his Wadata Palace, said the honour was in recognition of his contributions to the growth and development of the emirate.
Etsu Nupe said the conferment of the title on the commissioner also followed his uprightness in his service not only to the Nupe land but to the entire state.
The traditional ruler, who described the commissioner as a gentleman, prayed Almighty Allah to bless his new title and bestow on him wisdom to uphold the confidence reposed on him.
He urged him to continue to be good ambassador of the emirate council, using his wealth of experience to better not only the people of the emirate but the state in general.
In his goodwill message, Alhaji Aliyu Danlatu, Makaman Nupe ( traditional king maker), congratulated the new AJIYAN Nupe and advised him to continue to discharge his duty to humanity to the best of abilities.
Responding, the new AJIYAN Nupe thanked the traditional ruler and the emirate council for finding him worthy of the title, saying that the new title would spur him to do more for his people.
