Sunday Okobi

The G-20 Club, Abuja, has charged members of the club who were recently promoted in their various places of work as well as political appointments, to be good ambassadors, and also add value in their new roles for the growth of the country.

In a statement issued by the group recently, the members of the club were celebrated and lauded over their recent elevation by the government.

They were also charged to shun corrupt tendencies that would bring the integrity of the club to disrepute in the eyes of right thinking persons.

Some of the members, who were appointed into higher positions, included: Zakariah M. Ifu, Nigeria ambassador to Zimbabwe; Abdulhamid Ali Ibrahim, chief registrar/CEO, Industrial Arbitration Panel; and Hon. Angyu-Tsokwa Osborne Adi Jnr, special adviser on New Media to Governor of Taraba State, Darius Ishaku.

Others are Director, Land Administration FCTA, Alhaji Jibrin Adamu; Mr. Emmanuel Shagaya, Chief Zeduwa Kefas; and Mr. Innocent Giwa Yakubu, who were also elevated to the position of assistant directors in the federal civil service.

The statement further indicated that all those affected members should view their appointments as a call to service, and must therefore continue to support every effort that would bring about the peace and growth initiative of Southern Taraba in particular and Nigeria in general.

The G20 Club Abuja is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-religious and non-tribal organisation of experienced professionals from different works of life who are indigenes of Southern senatorial district of Taraba State.

The club also thanked Governor Ishaku for honouring the club.

According to the statement, “The club has over the years embarked on humanitarian activities in Taraba State, which included complementing the government in electrification projects in some communities, scholarship schemes and sponsorship of a Table Tennis club, which won the 2021 national tournament.”
