The Northern Stakeholders Consultative Forum (NSCF) has extended its heartfelt congratulations to Honorable Yazid Shehu Danfulani, Turakin Zamfara, on his recent appointment as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC).
Chairman of the forum, Comrade Danjuma Paul, in a statement described the prestigious role as not only a significant milestone in the distinguished career of Hon. Danfulani but also a beacon of hope and progress for Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
“Honorable Danfulani, your leadership, vision, and unwavering dedication to excellence position you as the ideal choice to guide NAIC toward greater heights,” the statement read.
The forum highlighted Danfulani’s educational background, noting his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s degree in Arts and Management from the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, as a strong foundation for his new role. His professional experience, which includes stints in banking, computing, and business administration, was also cited as an asset to his leadership at NAIC.
The NSCF emphasized that Danfulani’s previous roles—particularly at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and as Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Zamfara State—have equipped him with a deep understanding of financial systems and the economic dynamics of the agricultural sector.
“The agricultural sector is vital to Nigeria’s economy, providing livelihoods for millions and contributing significantly to national food security. Under your stewardship, we are confident that NAIC will continue to evolve, implementing strategies that not only protect farmers from unforeseen risks but also promote sustainable agricultural practices,” the forum said.
The NSCF expressed confidence that Danfulani’s vision will inspire trust among stakeholders, encouraging innovation and collaboration within the agricultural ecosystem.
“We commend you on this well-deserved appointment, which is a testament to your hard work, expertise, and unwavering commitment to national development. The NSCF stands ready to support your initiatives and collaborate in any capacity that will advance the goals of NAIC and the agricultural sector in Nigeria. Once again, congratulations on this significant achievement. We wish you every success as you embark on this new journey,” the statement concluded.
