In Minna, Niger State, Nigeria, the National Examinations Council (NECO) awarded Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi the traditional title of Maji Dadin Gidan Mangoro in recognition of his contributions to the community’s development.
The honor took place during the inauguration of a new palace for the Mai-Anguwan Gidan Mangoro, bringing together traditional and government leaders. Wushishi explained that building the palace was part of NECO’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and fostering strong relationships with the communities where it operates.
He emphasized that stable, peaceful communities are vital for the success of organizations like NECO, which rely on a supportive environment. NECO has undertaken several initiatives in Gidan Mangoro and throughout Niger State, including providing water boreholes, transformers, skills development programs, and support for schools and cultural associations. In 2024, NECO and the BOS/BAT Movement distributed learning materials to pupils at two primary schools.
Wushishi stated that these projects demonstrate NECO’s respect for tradition and its commitment to long-term community well-being, and he expressed hope that the new palace would promote unity and peace.
