The Registrar/Chief Executive, National Examinations Council (NECO) Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi has lavished praise on former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) for attaining the milestone of 81 years on the planet earth.
Wushishi, in a statement made available to newsmen by spokesman of NECO, Azeez Sani, on Wednesday, described IBB as a quintessential leader whose contributions to the development of Nigeria will remain indelible in the sand of time.
While describing IBB as a bastion of knowledge who has impacted positively on the lives of Nigerians, the NECO boss stated that it would not be out of place to describe Gen. Babangida as the architect and father of modern Nigeria, in view of the numerous reforms which he introduced when he was at the saddle as Military President.
Professor Wushishi pray to Allah (SWT) to grant the elder statesman good health and longlife to enable him continue to provide the required mentorship to young Nigerians.
