The youths of Adamawa State under the auspices of the Adamawa Youths Awareness Association and Social Developments Congress in their hundreds converged on Lelewal Hall and showered encomiums and praises on Alhaji Adamu Abubakar Garbajo for his efforts to consolidate democracy by providing succour to the less privileged in the state and the country at large.
The leader of the group, Comrade Aliyu Marafa Adamu, while reading a press statement, emphasized that honour must be given to those that deserve it because of what they are doing to save mankind from the shackles of poverty.
Adamu said: “As you can see us here in our great numbers, it is to appreciate and tell the whole world of what one of our own is doing and he deserves to be recognized and crowned with a feather of honour because of what he is doing to support the Nigerian youths.
“This indeed is the consolidation of Nigerian democracy in action.
“Because of this man, there is both cause for hope and certainty that the agony and protests of those who suffer injustice shall give way to peace and human dignity.
“The children of the world shall know the great work of this extraordinary leader and his fervent mission to right wrong, to do justice and to serve mankind.
“The enemies which imperil the future of generations to come:
“Poverty, ignorance, disease, hunger, and racism have each seen effects of the valiant work of Adamu Abubakar Garbajo.
“Through him and others like him, never again will freedom rest in the domain of the few.
“The entire members of the Adamawa Youths Awareness Association and Social Development Congress salute him this day as a hero in the global pursuit to preserve the history and the legacy of the Nigerian youths.
“We cannot stand it than to recognize him as a special epitome of youths empowerment for an award of his great exploits of supporting people.”
In the letter, they enumerated the achievements of Garbajo since when he became the Coordinator of Adamawa State Millennium Development Goals, where thousands of youths were empowered.
According to them Garbajo rehabilitated all the clinics in Adamawa State.
They added: “He also provided a lot of job opportunities to people (Youths) in the area of entrepreneurship, job creation, awarded contracts to many individuals and conglomerates who in turn became independent, making the state’s economy dependable.
“That during his time in 2008/2009, all villages and towns of the state were provided with solar powered boreholes that produce about 20,000 litres per day in over 161 locations representing the 21 LGAs of the state.
“In addition, he stocked the clinics with hospital equipments, including basic laboratory services, Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Bed Nets and Artemeter/Lumefanthrine medicines.”
