The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar, said the Emirate only gives traditional titles to persons that have distinguished themselves in service to their people.
He stated this when he received a delegation that was at his palace in Daura to thank him for appointing Alhaji Hamza Sule Faskari as 'Sadaukin Kasar Hausa'.
The Emir said the Emirate council found Alhaji Hamza Sule worthy of being confered with the prestigious traditional title considering his patriotic service to Katsina State when he served as the state Commissioner for Environment.
Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar said the council also considered his philanthropic gestures of helping the poor and needy, assisting orphans and widows, empowering youths and women and sponsoring the education of hundreds of children from less privileged families.
"When he served as Commissioner for Environment in the state, his efforts qualified the state to benefit from the World Bank project, NEWMAP, which was worth billions of Naira.
"The project constructed dozens of drainages and culverts across the state which helped in controlling the incessant cases of flooding across the state.
"The intervention also executed dozens of erosion control projects across the state and this has saved many villages and farmlands from gully erosion and similar environmental hazards.
"Here in Daura, they established shelter belts with economic trees that have beautified our land and are guarding agricultural land against desert encroachment.
"We are also aware of the immense contributions of Alhaji Hamza Sule to the social and economic welfare of our people, he gives scholarships to students, he empowers women and youths, he assists the poor and needy, he assists IDPs and victims of banditry.
"This is our own way of appreciating these and other acts of patriotism by Hamza Sule and we hope that it will serve as an encouragement for him to continue to contribute to the development and welfare of the people", the Emir said.
The delegation that accompanied Alhaji Hamza Sule on the thank-you visit included lawmakers, Commissioners, traditional leaders from Katsina, Zamfara and Kaduna States, Local Government chairmen and councillors as well as other political bigwigs led by the Vice Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State, Alhaji Bala Abu Musawa.
Notable members of the delegation were the House of Representatives Member Representing Malumfashi/Kafur, Alhaji Aminu Ibrahim and former Member representing Faskari/Kankara/Sabuwa, Alhaji Murtala Isah Kankara.
Meanwhile, the traditional title holders from three Emirates were led by the Durbin Katsina, District Head of Mani, Alhaji Umar Babani Isa.
