For his honesty, Prof. Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo, the founder of the Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria and Niger, gave Malam Umar Mohammed Sanda, one of the two universities’ longest-serving security guards, a residence.
Presenting the keys of the house to Malam Sand on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, at the permanent site of MAAUN, Prof. Gwarzo said the recipient, who worked for the Universities in Niger and Nigeria for over 10 years, was found to be sincere and honest throughout the period.
“On behalf of MAAUN Niger and Nigeria, I want to reward you with a house for your sincerity and honesty.
“I decided to give him a house in order for him to have a place where he can live with his family comfortably.
“I decide to promote him because he is a serious person who always mind his business and he stop where I ask him to stop,” Prof. Gwarzo said while presenting the keys of the house to Malam Sanda.
He, therefore, advised the recipient to remain honest, sincere and hardworking wherever he might find himself.
