A TRIBUTE TO MAKAMA LAFIAGI @60.

I have known Alh. Tajudeen Abdulkadir for over four decades, he is undoubtedly a great ambassador of our emirate and humanity at large.A thorough breed professional accountant who has distinguished himself with footprints on the sands of time.

For clarity and better understanding of his personality, the scope will be limited to his academic/professional accomplishment, leadership and community development, politics and philanthropy.

Academic/Professional accomplishment.

From a humble family background, Makama is a classical example of a child born with silver spoon but paradoxically jettison the vantage position, to navigate the journey of life on equal opportunities among his contemporaries.

He graduated with Bsc Chemistry from the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, added another feather to his cap, obtaining Master of Business Administration (MBA),from university of Ilorin. He subsequently ventured into the accounting profession and did exceptionally well through determination, dedication and hard work that saw him to the Pinnacle of his career with multiple laurels, as Fellow of chartered Institute of Accountants of Nigeria, chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria and The chartered Institute of courier and logistic management. He is the founder and CEO of Taju Audu & co and chief consulting officer of several state revenue collection Authority, his client base includes many reputable government agencies among others, NEITI and FIRS.

His success story in the corporate world as a versatile tax and audit consultant with administrative sagacity and foresight led to the construction and unveiling of TAC corporate headquarters at wuye district, a highbrow area in Abuja by November 2022. A magnificent edifice with state of the art architectural master piece. The event was attended by top government functionaries, traditional rulers, captains of industry, political juggernauts and creme de la creme of the corporate world.This singular accomplishment deserves accolades. He has also secured employment for a sizeable number of our graduates within and outside his organization.

Leadership& community development.

Desirous to advance the course of our community development, Makama contested, won and took over the mantle of leadership of our foremost organization as LADDU National president, his tenure witnessed unprecedented development as he used both financial and material resources to attain giant strides, that can be seen by the blind, heard by the deaf and comprehended by the dumb.

Because of his antecedents, passion and unwavering commitment to our community development , he was conferred with the prestigious traditional title of Makama of Lafiagi by late emir, Alh. Sa'adu Kawu Haliru,OFR, he succeeded his late father, Alh. A. K. Oba Audu of blessed memory.

Additionally, in recognition of his penchant for development, he was appointed by the 14th emir of Lafiagi, HRH Alh. Mohammed Kudu Kawu as a member of Emirate Advisory committee , saddled with the responsibility of producing blue print/development plan for a greater Emirate. The assignment was successfully completed and earned him a plaque as a token of appreciation presented by the Kwara state governor at an auspicious occasion organized by the paramount ruler.

Politics/Philanthropy.

Knowing fully well that state executive power, in bringing development to the grassroots can not be over emphasized, Makama threw his hat into the ring to contest for Kwara state gubernatorial seat under APC, a testament of his desire to advance community and state service at a higher pedestal. He carved a niche for himself at the political arena, he may not have won yet, the singular courage of taking the bull by the horns to weathered the storm, remains a great watershed in our political evolution and a paradign shift from the old order.

His ambition should be seen by all and sundry as a futuristic task worthy of accomplishment, because of the enormous benefits therein.All hands must be on deck to actualize this noble objective come 2027. His ability, competence and capability are not in doubt.

Makama's philanthropic activities within and outside our emirate is unparallel in the areas of support to the indigent, women and youth empowerment.

In commemoration of his 60th birthday , through Makama Initiative for National Development and Support (MINDS), one hundred million endorsement fund project is being launched, to include education, Health care and entrepreneurship. The details of this significant milestone is in the public domain and highly commendable.

Please join me to appreciate our illustrious son, Makama as he celebrates diamond Jubilee birthday, we wish him more glorious years in the service of humanity. He is a quintessential financial administrator, philanthropist, political icon and a corporate mogul of our time , who has contributed in various capacities to the development of our community.

Happy birthday, Makama Daaaniyan!!!!

Alh. Bello Ndagi Issa.
