The Senate Press Corps of the National Assembly has honoured the Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi with the “Award of Excellence for Strategic Synergy for Good Governance”.
Receiving the presentation at an impressive ceremony attended by dignitaries at the NICON Luxury Hotel, Abuja, on Monday, an elated Dr. Abdullahi thanked members of the Press Corps for the honour, while reassuring them of his continuing positive relationship with the media. He likened the award to the injection “of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) into an engine” that would give him more mileage in doing his best in public service.
He said that he was dedicating the award to “Nigerians who have been yearning for good governance”. Noting that “the task of good governance has never been easy,” he praised President Bola Tinubu for his commitment to delivering good governance.
The minister, who is a veterinary surgeon, served in the eighth and ninth Senate from 2015 to 2023. He was the spokesperson for the eighth Senate, and Deputy Chief Whip of the ninth Senate. He was appointed Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security in August 2023.
