One of the best man to have handled Ministry for Works & Housing in the history of Nigeria.
A honest & hardworking product of the Nigerian Army who's integrity & love for Nigeria can be equated with @MBuhari
Late Gen. Mamman Kontagora as Minister for Works was always on the road and usually don fly .
I remember he once told journalist as Minister for Works, "if I use aeroplanes,how will I know if contractors are working?"
Gen. Kontagora never enriched himself or family with public funds.
He lived within his means
Gen Kontagora was offered the thankless job of auditing Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,his alma mater (Class of 1972), as a result of serious financial & administrative crisis in d university that disrupted studies in the
Gen. Kontagora cleared the mess he identified.
Not surprisingly, mixed reactions trailed his appointment & his tenure. Yet nt even his worst critics cld question the integrity he brought to bear on his assignment which he completed
Gen. Kontagora.
He is one of my hero in public office and one who has demonstrated public office is nt about enriching yourself but Service.
God Bless Nigeria.
