Alhaji Udu Abubakar is, without doubt, a passionate administrator and a crunk civil servants whose visible track records of responsible civil service delivery speaks for itself, a man of wits and uncompromising principles of true and corrupt-free civil service needs no one to blow his trumpet but we are known for identifying with everything good hence the piece to contribute to his amiable contributions to the growth of civil service in Kebbi state.
Udu to say the least is one of the longest-serving head of the civil service in Kebbi, he served many military governments in Kebbi state and two civilian governments, serving and retired civil servants in Kebbi state are the witnesses of his contributions to a virile and active civil service and how hard he fought and firmly stood for their rights when he was steering the boat of civil service in Kebbi state.
During his time no civil servants no matter his connection can approach him with fraudulent ideas or make any attempt to make him compromise the laid down civil service rules, he has been a no-go area to biased civil servants.
Udu has left a huge vacuum when he left the civil service with honor and dignity to pave the way for a change of baton as he has attained retirement period.
