(1) Why do you think that being elected to the Constituent Assembly is such a crowning glory?
(2) Might such a group of persons - younger lawyers 10 years and below not have been sought from around the country?
(3) If after being called to the bar he did one year of LLM and three years of PhD, he got appointed to the Constituent Assembly after four years of PhD in Constitutional Law, would you consider him unqualified to serve?
My whole point is neither you or know how exactly useful or not he was at the Constituent Assembly, and we not use his age, qualification, axis of origin or his career length to judge.
Besides, we now have an opportunity to judge him anew on this SGF position. All eyes are on him and his Principal.
And there you have it. He is a breath of fresher air compared with his "cousin" Babachir

My
People:
Very good
news......now action on Maina-gate is next, as well as a
re-shufflement of cabinet, all in connection with a belated
re-set with new key performance indices.
One hopes that Boss Mustapha has
been checked out thoroughly....he is certainly more refined
than Babachir....
And
there you have it.

PREMIUM TIMES

anniversary of the Inland Transport Committee in Geneva,
Switzerland
Mr, Boss Gida Mustapha is
a lawyer, management consultant, politician, business man
and boardroom guru of considerable repute. His appointment
as the Managing Director/CEO of the National inland
waterways Authority (NIWA) has been well received by staff
and stakeholders, thanks to his vast public sector
experience, legal background, extensive travels and
contracts in both government and business.The confidence in the new
MD is well placed. Born in Adamawa State, Mr Mustapha
attended Hong Secondary School, in Hong Adamawa state and

serving as Social Secretary and Chairman at the Yola
branch.After his stint at the

(2015). He is also a member, APC Board of Trustees.In addition to the NBA,
the MD is a member of various professional bodies including

go beyond politics and the Bar; he is respected boardroom
guru, having been appointed into the boards of several
companies in the manufacturing financial services as well as
oil and gas sectors. He is the National Vice President, Full
Gospel Business Men's Fellowship international
Nigeria.The MD has
travelled extensively visiting no fewer than 30 countries,
and always taken interest in how waterways assets are
managed in those countries. His address to management staff
on assuming office set the tone style and direction of his
administration. He stressed teamwork and the need to focus
on the Authority's vision and mission. He is also said:
"Just call me Boss, there is no need calling me Manager; I
don't have nicknames."
Mr. Mustapha who
is married with children, enjoys golf, lawn tennis,
travelling, documentary films, charity work and meeting
people
