For many years before 29th May 2023, Mr Lawal has always been my boss—forget his usual courtesy of calling every one of his staff or service providers ‘my brother.’ No position, not a governor or beyond that, could change the simplicity and kindness of Governor Lawal. My boss is a good listener. He embodies the famous statement of the 30th President of the United States of America, Calvin Coolidge, who said, ‘It takes a great man to be a good listener.’Support journalism driven by facts, created by Nigerians for Nigerians.

The fact that my boss is accessible makes governance in Zamfara easy. The commissioners, advisers, and other senior members of his team are careful in their actions because everything, good or bad, must ultimately find its way to him. His doors are wide open, and his mobile phone is reachable . Governor Lawal’s house is the easiest to enter compared to the houses of other governors.
My experience teaches me that my boss easily gets irritated by people who have poor personal hygiene. He strongly believes in cleanliness and frequently emphasises the importance of brushing teeth and using deodorants and perfumes in order to smell pleasant. It’s impossible to be near him with bad breath or body odour; that’s an offside that doesn’t sit well with him.
