According to her, “I have to thank my dear Sister, Hadiza Bala Usman for her thoughtfulness and kindness towards her sister MDAs in need. I am short of words. You have really made my day.
“This is very good news in the midst of a depressing week. I want to say a big thank you for your hands of fellowship. This goes to show that women do help themselves”, she said.
The NiDCOM boss further expressed her appreciation to the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Hajia Aisha Buhari and the Minister of Finance, Hajia Zainab Ahmed, for their hands of fellowship at the critical moment of the Commission.
