SPECIAL REPORT: Antimicrobial resistance crisis heightens in Nigeria, other countriesFaith and integrity as Baba PB turns 94, By Laolu AkandeBlood on UniformsSPECIAL REPORT: Antimicrobial resistance crisis heightens in Nigeria, other countriesFaith and integrity as Baba PB turns 94, By Laolu AkandeIsmaila GaladanchiWith a heavy heart, I write this tribute in memory of Isma’ila Galadanchi, a man who shaped my early career and guided me with kindness and wisdom, like a big brother.
He had a remarkable ability to balance authority with kindness, and though I wasn’t one to back down easily or shy away from speaking my mind, he understood me deeply. I’ve always believed in standing up for what was right, especially in the moment because I’m not one to be a pushover. For me, doing the right thing was non-negotiable.
Our last meeting, though brief, left a lasting impact on me because it was a reminder of his thoughtfulness and warmth. In March of this year, while I was on the train from Kaduna to Abuja, I suddenly heard a voice that was unmistakably his. There was something distinct in the way he spoke, and I knew immediately it was him—Oga Galadanchi. I stood up, and sure enough, he was sitting just two rows behind me.
