The Kogi Concerned Citizens for Peace and Development, a non-governmental organization, is exited on the well deserved award bestowed a young and renowned professional, Quantity Surveyor Aminu Suleiman Abubakar by the authoritative Blueprint newspapers. The award was no surprise to us who have been following the meteoric rise of this young man. The Young Professional of the Year award is truly deserving.
We wish to also on behalf of the Kogi Concerned Citizen for Peace and Development felicitate with Aminu Suleiman Abubakar for this award which in essence for his extra-ordinary efforts in strengthening professionalism in a developing country like, Nigeria.
This award arching over the timeless River Niger, we can assure you will never fail to fill us with hope. This award will really serve as a museum for many to reflect on the fact that hard work pays. This award would serve as a tool for the future because we believe you can achieve more setting your sight higher. We also know this award will go a long way in inspiring you in cultivating a national image for yourself. As a professional, we knew how you use your professional ingenuity to insist on pragmatism and moderation in government programmes you have commented on.
As a professional, and a young one for that matter, your ideas about politics as a tool and platform to emphasize opportunity, law and order, and responsibility is known to all. As a professional your political thought always emphasises that government should provide opportunities for every citizen, when the free market failed, but individuals must accept the responsibility to work and to contribute to the common civil order. This linking of the time honoured enshrinement to work and individualism to a progressive view of the role of government became for you as a professional a new covenant the philosophical perspective behind your being crowned the young professional of the year.
We are therefore hopeful that this award will spur your passion and commitment more to the political and social development of our state, Kogi.
