The FCC, according to a statement made available to our correspondent by the Senior Special Assistant to the Minister of Transportation, Dr. Sam Idiagbonya, said recognition and award is as a result of the Minister’s commitment to the infrastructural development in the country’s transportation sector and the zeal to foster unity in his sector, his home state Taraba and Nigeria at large, which the Federal Character commission stands for.

The award which was handed to the Minister by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Akali Baba, and the Chairman of the Federal Character Commission, Dr Muheeba Dankaka, specifically noted that the Minister successfully took charge of the transportation, the rail, the waterways, the rail corridors and by extension the road sector.

“Honourable Minister, you are in charge of the road, rail and waterways, and I must say you are doing a good job. This award is given for your outstanding services in the transportation sector” he said.

Similarly, the Chairman of the FCC, Dr Muheeba Dankaka, described the Honourable Minister as a man of integrity and a man of his word.

She thanked him for his guidance, availability and for always extolling the ethos of the Federal Character Commission.

The Minister, reacting to the award, thanked the organizers of the event, particularly, the Chairman of the Commission, Dr Muheeba Dankaka.

He also thanked the Inspector General of Police IGP Usman Akali Baba for cooperating with the Federal Ministry of Transportation in the provision of security along the rail corridors in the country, particularly, the Abuja Kaduna rail Corridor since the reopening earlier in the month. He also appreciated the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Services, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd) for his cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Transportation, noting there is room for more.

“I must say, I am touched by this award, honestly I was indisposed, I was sending my wife to represent me hitherto, but I had to muscle up the strength to be here tonight, and I must say, I was ambushed, I never expected such a huge award, thank you indeed for counting me worthy. Thank you, my dear sister, for the Chairman, Dr Muheeba, I am deeply touched. I want to use this opportunity to thank the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Akali Baba, for the Force’s commitment to ensuring safety along our rail corridors as well as our waterways, and my brother the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs, Col. Hammed Ali (rtd) for their partnership over the years, particularly in the maritime sector, and we look forward to more” he said.
