Rilwanu Lukman Was Nigeria's Gift To The World – Northern Governors by Decibel: 6:59pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
The Chairman Northern States Governors' Forum (NSGF) and Governor of Niger state, Muazu Babangida Aliyu has expressed shock over the death of former Secretary General of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and one time Petroleum Minister, Dr Rilwanu Lukman . According to Aliyu, in a press statement issued by his Chief Press secretary, Israel Ayegba Ebije, said Lukman was Nigeria's gift to the world adding that his intellectual inputs to the petroleum sector and science as a whole is indelible. The Chairman of the forum has described the passing of the elder statesman as tragic and monumental loss to humanity as a whole, said the deceased lived a worthy, exemplary and fulfilled life. "Humanity has lost a thoroughbred professional, fine gentleman, world class petroleum engineer and astute manager of human and material resources who has left indelible footprints on the sands of time.” “While it wouldn’t be fair for the North to solely lay claim to this departed gentleman, he was indeed a great Northerner the region will continue to remember. He will remain an example of a true Nigerian who served his fatherland solely contributing to efforts aimed at making the world a better place". Recalling his days as Nigeria's Petroleum Minister, the forum noted that Dr Lukman initiated wonderful policies that brought useful reforms with traceable results to the petroleum sector. It further stated that as Petroleum Minister he introduced a number of sound policies and blueprint for exploration activities in line with international best practices. “Dr Lukman was a first class Nigerian. We must learn from his patriotism, integrity, honesty, discipline, and dedication to duty and love for all, irrespective of tribe, ideological or religious differences. In all his engagements, he considers Nigeria first before thinking of personal or sectional interest". "As we mourn the passing of this illustrious son of Africa, I urge us to toe his exemplary, especially in our disposition to issues of national concern. The best way to immortalize him is to uphold those core ideals he worked hard to entrench in the system.” The forum also prayed God to grant the departed Aljannah Firdaus and comfort his family, friends and associates in this trying moment. http://m.dailytimes.com.ng/article/8272/rilwanu-lukman-was-nigeria’s-gift-to-the-world-–-northern-governors/
