For the first time in a period spanning 62 years following the suspension of the title and office, the Emir of Ningi, Dr Yunusa Muhammad Danyaya has turbaned Ambassador Shuaibu Adamu as the 4th Wazirin-Ningi
WikkiTimes reports that Ningi Emirate has been without Waziri since 1961 when the Northern Region Government ordered the suspension of the office to maintain peace and tranquillity in the Emirate.
The Emir said he found it expedient and absolutely necessary to fill in the vacuum of the Waziri office in the emirate, hence the decision of the Emirate Council to turban Adamu.
“The search was not easy, the result was the selection and subsequent appointment of Amb. Adamu as Wazirin Ningi.
“Adamu was selected based on his track record, community service, exemplary conduct and Support to the emir and the Emirate.

Responding, the newly turbaned Waziri Ningi Ambassador Shuaibu Ahmed Adamu pledged to be loyal to the emirate and the Emirate Council.
