We wish to roll out the drums and applaud President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the recent appointment of Air Vice Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar as the Chief of Air Staff. 

It is without a doubt that President Bola Tinubu will forever be remembered for recognising AVM Abubakar, a Kano indigene from Shanono, a man of resilience and doggedness, and can-do spirit, a man whose life story is a litany of service to humanity, worthy of this national assignment. 

Born in 1970, Air Vice Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar, who hails from Shanono LGA in Kano State, and by dint of intellect, hard work, entrepreneurship, and patriotism, he rose to become the Air Officer Commanding, Logistics Command, and has attended several courses nationally and internationally. 

A distinguished Nigerian who has continued to give his all in the service to fatherland, AVM Abubakar has worked his way through the rungs to occupy a pride of place in the Air Force, so this latest appointment becomes a matter of responsibility and recognition of the contributions of a patriot.

I therefore wish to commend President Bola Tinubu for this worthy appointment. Shanono indigenes are elated by the elevation of AVM Abubakar to the highly coveted Chief of Air Staff seat. It is a position that caps all his excellent performances in the various offices he has held previously in the service to his fatherland. 

I, on behalf of Shanono Indigenous People’s Forum (SIPF) worldwide, pray that Almighty Allah SWT guide him so that he can acquit himself as a true Shanono indigene deserving of this exalted office and, coupled with maturity and experience, he shall demonstrate that there is no looking back and no stopping him.
