His Excellency Governor Babagana Umar Zulum’s exemplary leadership is a beacon of hope for Nigeria and beyond. His selfless dedication to the welfare of his people, bravery in the face of adversity, and commitment to transparency and integrity make him a shining example for upcoming leaders.
Zulum’s remarkable story, from humble beginnings to becoming a University Professor, Rector, Hon. Commissioner and Governor, is a testament to his resilience, hard work, and determination. His policies, reflecting his deep understanding of the needs of his people, have transformed Borno State into a model for good governance in Nigeria.
As a leader, Zulum has demonstrated exceptional courage and honesty, debunking the Federal Government’s claim that Boko Haram had been technically defeated. His willingness to tell the truth, even when uncomfortable, is a rare quality in politics, and one that has earned him widespread respect.
Zulum’s dedication to rebuilding ravaged communities, youth empowerment, security, education, and infrastructure has restored hope to a region once ravaged by insurgency and criminality. His leadership has shown that with courage, determination, and a commitment to the welfare of the people, even the most challenging problems can be overcome.
The recognition of Governor Zulum’s outstanding contributions by the Youth Development Practitioners Association of Nigeria (YDPAN), naming their National Headquarters after him, is a fitting tribute to his leadership. It serves as a reminder that leaders like Zulum, who put the needs of their people above personal interests, are the ones who truly make a difference.
As Nigeria and the world look to the future, Governor Zulum’s leadership serves as a powerful example of what can be achieved through selflessness, courage, and determination. His legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire generations of leaders to come, reminding them that true leadership is not about personal gain or power, but about serving others with integrity, compassion, and wisdom.
As a Nation, we would do well to learn from Zulum’s example and strive to cultivate a new generation of leaders who embody his values of selflessness, courage, and integrity. By doing so, we can build a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our communities, and create a world where leaders like Governor Zulum are the norm, rather than the exception.
– Long Live Governor Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum
– Long Live Borno State
– Long Live the North East Sub-Rigion
– Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
