my earlier commitment to speak at two separate events, outside Abuja, two days after. For a man of Adio’s stature, the first thing I observed at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, venue of the book presentation, was the moderate yet elegant nature of the event, a curious observation, which I pondered while seated, until Kashim Ibrahim-Imam, the chairman of TEFFUND and the Mutwali Borno, during his extempore, described the event as “Vintage Waziri”.
I will share at least two of the testimonials, both were from Imam, who had known Adio since the late 90s, and has consistently played the role of a guardian including serving as the chief-host at the presentation.
Adio arrived in public service, as a public critic, who wanted to practice what he had preached in his previous life and jettison what is often described as “that is how it is done”, he therefore committed to lead, by setting personal examples, even if the laws were either silent or ambiguous about such action, an example was the public declaration of his asset on April 13, 2016, only a few weeks after his appointment.
Unlike most people, who consider working in public service as easy work, Adio devoted each passing day to create, expand, and sustain public value. An example was how, in the middle of dwindling government revenue, he ingeniously raised over $1.5 million from donor agencies, to keep the agency on top of its game, support its policy and strategy stream, and even offset some of the financial obligation the agency had to some of its consultants, before his assumption of office.
