Femi Adesina Receives Service Recognition Plaque From Student

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, has disclosed that he was surprised by a student, Firdausi Yusuf, at the State House.

The spokesman, who revealed this in a statement titled “With love from a budding journalist” on Monday, said the HND 2 Mass Communication student's efforts to reach him before now had been futile due to his tight schedule. 

“For weeks, she had been attempting to see me, but my schedule would not allow. Finally, despite a hectic time today, I spared time to receive her briefly at State House, Abuja.

“All the way from Kaduna, the young lady came, laden with two gift items. An enlarged photo of me receiving the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) National Award from President Muhammadu Buhari last October, and a plaque," he said.

According to Adesina, the plaque was inscribed with “In the eyes of all meaningful Nigerians, you are more than just a mouthpiece of the President, but glowing light in a world where honesty and integrity have dwindled.

"May your commitment and dedication for a better Nigeria bring you the happiness you desire.”

He added that the students had followed his progress as a journalist and media adviser for years.

The spokesman prayed that Yusuf's dreams become reality.
