“For six years after my office got burnt, I had to operate in my house hoping on empty promises until Boss Mustafa intervened.
“And today I have a beautiful office with a conference hall and borehole,” Mr Baba-Paris said.
Commenting, Mustafa, advised the youth in Adamawa State to embrace education, hard work, patriotism, and discipline to facilitate their success in life.
It was gathered that the primary school has a lasting impression in the life of the SGF being a former pupil of the school and where his father, late Baba Wesley Mustafa served as the longest headmaster.
Mr Mustafa said with education, the right attitude, and hard work, the youths would be able to achieve their dreams in life.
“If the son of a headmaster like me can rise to be the SGF, any youth can aspire to any position.
“We have many children of the poor, who passed through this school to become big men today in a society based on their hard work, discipline, and the blessing of God.
“Therefore, any youth, no matter his background, can rise to be somebody,” Mustafa said.
He assured the people of Nasarawo Ward and citizens of the state of his commitment to giving back to the society from which he had gained.
