Achieving greatness in the hall of fame, is driven by one’s insatiable flair to prove his worth in various spheres of human interest, for one to have his name written in gold and poised to make his mark on the sand of time.

Many, were known to have achieved what was widely regarded as their stunning accomplishments, even at their wunderkind stage, by act of inscrutable destiny, having had the opportunity to circumvent any obstacle that came their way and that they have striven to prove to the doubting Thomases that they are equal to the herculean task.

He came on board as fire brand Chairman of the Kano Roads Traffic Agency popularly known as KAROTA, after succeeding his predecessors who also had their respective stint, and wonderfully fabled a name that made him to be fearsome by those who flouted traffic laws with levity.
