Shettima @ 57: Gov. Zulum Describes VP As Humble Mentor

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has described the Vice President, Kashim Shettima as a humble mentor whose type is very difficult to find.

The governor, in a message to celebrate the Vice President, his predecessor in office as Borno State Governor, said: “Today and always, we celebrate a great and humble mentor whose type is very difficult to find.”

Zulum said: “I once read a quotation attributed to Steven Spielberg which said: The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your image, but allowing them to create themselves.”

He added: “Now, in his unique style of mentorship, His Excellency, Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, liberally gave us (his mentees) the rare opportunities of using what we have learned from him to independently create our own identities of leadership for the benefit of our people in Borno State and beyond.

“May Allah in His infinite Grace, grant the Vice President many more years with the best of health and strength, the best of faith, the best of wisdom, the best of inner peace, and the best of prosperity in this world and the hereafter. Aamin!

“Happy 57th Birthday to His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
