NECO registrar extols IBB’s virtues at 81

The Registrar of National Examinations Council, NECO, Prof. Dantani Wushishi, has described former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, as a quintessential leader whose contributions to the development of Nigeria will remain indelible in the sand of time.
Wushishi, who felicitated with the elder statesman for attaining the milestone of 81, described him as a bastion of knowledge who has impacted positively on the lives of Nigerians.
The NECO boss said it would not be out of place to describe Babangida as the architect and father of modern Nigeria, in view of the numerous reforms which he introduced when he was at the saddle as military president.
This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday by the spokesperson of NECO, Mr Azeez Sani.
The statement said Wushishi prayed to Allah, SWT, to grant the elder statesman good health and longlife to enable him continue to provide the required mentorship to young Nigerians.
