As planned, the Nigerian first class monarch, His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr.) Yahaya Abubakar, CFR, Etsu Nupe and Chairman, Niger State Council of Traditional Rulers & Bida Emirate Council, this afternoon in his palace turbaned Barr. Mrs. Vera Ndanusa, the ED/CEO of Lagos International Trade Fair Complex Management Board (LITFCMB), the ‘Soniyan Ayuka Nupe’, meaning the “The General Overseer of Works/Development” or “Chief Director of Works/Labour in national development.”
Business Hilights.ng reports that Soniyan Ayuka Nupe is a prestigious, traditional chieftaincy title or designation typically conferred by the Etsu Nupe, the paramount traditional ruler of the Nupe Kingdom in Niger State to deserving citizens that have distinguished themselves in public life and service delivery.
Additional explanations by contacted indigenes of Nupe showed that the honour is a royal title prefix used to signify a guardian, steward, supervisor, or director over a specific domain.
Giving on the spot insight on the smooth procession of the turbanning, ASPMDA President said “Everything went well and Lagos International Trade Fair stakeholders were adequately represented as majority of us joined the ED/CEO in celebration at the Estu Nupe’s palace in Bida, Niger State today.
“Madam was highly excited for our massive turnout and thanked us for the support.
Also speaking, former President of ASPMDA, Chief Charles Ages Okeke said “From what I saw today at Estu Nupe’s palace, the ED/CEO of the trade fair complex is well respected in her hometown and that strongly showed that the good works she has been doing at the trade fair complex did not just start at the complex, but at her hometown. She remains a very good export of her people in Nigeria State and they are very proud of her.
Adding his voice, the Chairman of Ajocynta Worldwide Investment Ltd, Eze Augustine Sunday Ojukwu expressed happiness on the warm reception the people of Bida in Niger State gave Trade Fair stakeholders who came in their numbers for the turbanning of the ED/CEO.
In his remarks, the chairman of Trade Fair Stakeholders Association and President of Association of Progressive Traders (APT), said “All of us at trade fiar are happy to associate with our Mother-General today in her conferment of ‘Soniyan Ayuka Nupe’ by the Estu Nupe. It’s a day of joy for all of us and we are here to give her the needed support.
