President Muhammadu Buhari has praised his nephew,who he also called his long time friend, Mamman Daura for maintaining family values over the years.

The Present felt elated that Mamman Daura has lived to celebrate the ripe year of 80 which occasion comes up tomorrow, November 9.
A message by the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, quoted Present Buhari as assuring Mamman Daura that he would continue to cherish his (Daura’) footprint on the development of the country, and his “quintessential attention to family values.”
The President extolled him for the visionary role he played in the banking sector and management of companies, and development institutions.
President Buhari recalled Daura’s remarkable brilliance from childhood at the Katsina Middle School and Government College which caught the attention of Northern Regional Government, leading to sponsorship for further studies in the United Kingdom in the 50’s and many years to follow,  noting that the knowledge had, overtime, translated into more wisdom.
The President called Mamman Daura “renowned journalist and bibliophile, who worked with the civil service for a while before joining the New Nigerian newspapers, where he rose to be Editor and Managing Director, before venturing to the private sector as entrepreneur, inspiring industrial growth in the north in furniture making, textile manufacturing, aluminium smelting and other investments.”
