The announcement was made in a statement signed by the Danejin Daura, Alhaji Abdulmummuni Salihu, on behalf of the Secretary to the Emirate Council. The statement highlights Dr. Yanduna’s sterling track record, noting his current roles not only as the NLC Chairman in Katsina but also as the Vice President of the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria.
The Emirate applauded Dr. Yanduna as a worthy ambassador of Daura, acknowledging his pivotal role in promoting public health, advancing workers’ rights, and contributing to national development. His efforts, the statement said, have brought pride to the Emirate, Katsina State, and Nigeria at large.
The Emir expressed particular appreciation for Dr. Yanduna’s contributions to healthcare delivery and labour advocacy, describing him as a bridge between traditional institutions and modern public service.
The turbanning ceremony for the new Sarkin Gabas Daura is expected to be held at a later date to be announced by the Emirate Council.
