Zaria monarch commends FG on NITT board appointment

Emir of Zazzau and Chairman, Kaduna State Council of Emirs and Chiefs, Alhaji Shehu Idris, has lauded the federal government on the appointment of Mr Olorogu John Onojeharho as Chairman, Governing Council of the Nigeria Institute of Transport Technology (NITT), Zaria.
The Emir made the commendation when management of the Institute led by the chairman paid him a courtesy visit in his palace in Zaria before the inauguration of the Board.
The emir said, “Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology (NITT) Zaria, is making Zaria and the nation in general very proud through the quality training and retraining of manpower for the transport industry.
“The establishment of NITT reduced the hitherto wasteful overseas training whereby employees and stakeholders in the transport industry were traveling abroad for professional training,” he stressed.
Alhaji Idris also congratulated the chairman and members on their well deserved appointments, adding that the federal government made a good selection by appointing highly qualified people to the board.
He assured management of his support when the need arises, saying: “If there is anything you want us to do to give you further support, do not hesitate to let us know,” he added.
Speaking earlier, the council chairman, while expressing his gratitude to the Emir’s warm reception, noted that the visit was symbolic in that the traditional ruler donated the land on which the Institute was built.
He stated that they were at the palace to seek the Emir’s fatherly blessings before commencing their inaugural meeting.
Onojeharho also thanked the Emir for his contributions to the growth and development of Nigeria, particularly in the transport sector and pledged the loyalty of the Governing Council to the Emir, and prayed for his long and fruitful reign.
