Comrade Ismaila Ammai Maizare, the General Manager of Nasara Radio Kano, was given another title last week, just a few days after being appointed the Sarkin Labarai of Africa.
Maizare, the former chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ Kano) and a traditional title holder, received the WAZOBIA and Conflict Resolution Initiative Awards as Ambassador.
The ceremony took place at the Grand Central Hotel in Kano. As a result of this recognition, Ismaila Ammai Maizare is now an Eminent Peace Ambassador.
I was at the production unit of the Triumph Publishing Company, Kano but my keen interest in sports journalism made me to be sports writer and maintained a sports column called (Sports Eye) after my mentor Sani Muhammad Zaria transferred his service to New Nigeria newspapers in Kaduna. And when the government closed the Triumph in 2012, I was transfered to lectured DTP in the Department of Printing Technology of Kano State Polytechnic.
And now that I retired, i used to visit the institution weekends for part-time lecturing.
Masha Allah
