Businessman, Rabiu’s Bond in Words

Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, and treating people with respect.” – Stephen Covey.

In the challenging business landscape where the primary aim of everyone is to make maximum profit without minding the pockets of consumers, the founder and chairman of BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabiu, has maintained and kept faith with his philosophy that business should be done with human face rather than profit- making all the time and enabling better mission praxis to give out better packages to his customers.

For the Kano State-born magnate, his word has always been his bond, and he wears integrity like a badge of honour.

Over the years, he has been unrelenting in his drive and determination to rescue the nation, particularly the common man from the clutches of the oppressors without fear or favour.

When he told journalists during his visit to President Bola Tinubu at Aso Rock Villa that he would crash the price of cement, many naysayers sneered at him, insinuating that it was all balderdash. However, what they forgot was that if Rabiu promises you a hill, better be sure you are getting a mountain.

He holds in high esteem the deathless quote of the late Jamaican-born reggae star, Bob Marley that says “The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.’’

Recently, he made good on his vow as he announced a new price for cement, which crashed to N3,500. To say that the news was received by Nigerians with thunderous applause is an understatement. It’s undoubtedly one of the best news so far in the year 2023.

With this announcement, he has instilled hope and optimism among Nigerians that there is light at the end of the tunnel for the country and its citizens.
