President Bola Tinubu has conferred the national honour of Commander of the Federal Republic on a former military Governor of Kaduna State, Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa (retd.).
Tinubu announced this during his one-day working visit to Kaduna State on Thursday, June 19.
He said, “Let me use this opportunity to correct an omission.
“One of the people I missed in my June 12 broadcast is Colonel Dangiwa. Let me honour him with CFR.”
Dangiwa was governor of Kaduna State from August 1985 to June 1988 during the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida (retd.).
After his retirement from the Army in 1993, he became a social critic and founded the political party, Movement for Unity and Progress.
