<p>The patriotic commitment for his role in national cohesion, integration and overall national development, Deputy Senate President, His Excellency (Dr) Barau I Jibrin, CFR, is practically recognized along the breadth and length of the country. Such recognition is spotted across ethnic groups, different geographical locations and status.</p>
<p>As The Sun Newspaper believes, after some diligent scrutiny and due process, finds the Senator worthy of the Sun&#8217;s Humanitarian Service Icon Award. Respected media professionals of global repute, like the former Governor of Ogun state, an elder statesman, Chief Olusegun Osoba, corroborated with the Sun&#8217;s decision for the Award, in favour of DSP.</p>
<p>It took the newspaper months beaming its searchlight on all categories of patriotic and disciplined Nigerians, on who the cap fits, in accordance with their set standards and impartial acknowledgement of high standard. Purposely on Nigerian project.</p><div class="omPoZzEo" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The correct choice of His Excellency, Jibrin, after rigorous and scientific process speaks volumes of his commitment in making Nigeria great again. No wonder he is listed among the best elected leaders in Nigeria, who are frontliners in spearheading President Bola Ahmed Tinubu&#8217;s Renewed Hope Agenda Initiative.</p>

<p>Chief Osoba, presented the Award to the DSP, on behalf of the founder of the newspaper, Chief Orji Uzo Kalu. During the presentation, Osoba hailed that, &#8220;This is my son, in whom I am very, very pleased to present this Award on behalf of the Sun&#8217;s founder, Chairman and management. He is making us proud. I&#8217;m proud of him.&#8221;</p>
<p>The event took place at the Expo Convention Centre, Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos. Osoba&#8217;s complimentary remarks on Senator Jibrin, explains greater reflection of the Senator&#8217;s role in national politics, unwavering commitment to nation building, uninterrupted faith in the Nigerian project and high sense of patriotism, among many others.</p>
<p>To further encourage others and boost their morale, to take a leaf from him, His Excellency, Jibrin acknowledges that, &#8220;Sun&#8217;s Newspapers selected me for the Award in recognition of my tireless efforts to promote human dignity and community development nationwide.&#8221;</p>
<p>He takes the Award as a challenge to further his good work in the country. He believes that, &#8220;I&#8217;m delighted. And let me say that this Award is a way to propel me to do more in my humanitarian activities for people in need. The award is a propeller to propel me to do more.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many of those who made remarks at the occasion, believe that, DSP Jibrin is a bridge builder, philanthropist par excellence, a hard working legislator, who promotes synergy and good working relationship, between National Assembly and the Executive arm of government and one of the few political messiah we have in the country.</p>
<p>It has already been established since the return of democracy, in 1999, that the Deputy Senate President, is identified as one of the pillars of democracy in the country. While he is busy with his legislative responsibilities, that does not divert his attention from discharging his primary responsibility, for his constituency and other parts of the political entity.</p>
<p>With people like DSP on the ground, whose grip on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is firm, back home in his constituency, Kano North Senatorial District, Kano state, and the North West region, including the North as a whole, President Tinubu could be on solid footing.</p>
