I Was A Taxi Driver For 16 Years - Professor BABAGANA UMARA ZULUM Told Daily Trust


Babagana Umara Zulum, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno state, says he was a commercial driver from 1984 to 1999.

Zulum, a professor of irrigation engineering at the University of Maiduguri, disclosed this in an interview with Daily Trust.

The academician spoke about his humble beginnings in Loskuri village, Mafa local government area of Borno.

“Every day, I trekked for seven kilometers to reach my father’s farm from our home,” he said.

“From 1984 to around 1999 (16 years) I became a commercial driver of taxis, particularly Peugeot 404. At some point, I also drove buses carrying passengers to different villages, and neighboring states. At a later time, I drove commercial pickup trucks carrying firewood from forests. While working as commercial driver, I learned how to fix any vehicle I drove.”

Zulum said he become responsible for his own education at class five, narrating how he worked hard to make ends meet.

He recalled how he gained admission into Ramat Polytechnic, Maiduguri, in 1986, to study irrigation engineering while living with a relative about eight kilometers from campus.

“I trekked for eight kilometers from Kofa Biyu to Ramat Polytechnic and back whenever I had lectures. But I was already used to long walks all my life, as I couldn’t afford transport to school. Whenever I drove taxis and returned the vehicles to owners, I used what I got for my basic school needs. I later also became a commercial operator of grinding machine, and I owned one in Mafa, and during weekends I went there to serve customers,” he said.

In 2015, Zulum was appointed pioneer Borno commissioner for reconstruction, rehabilitation and resettlement, which he said was one of the biggest challenges in his life.

He said: “Governor Shettima told me in September 2015 that he was trusting me with so much funds for the rebuilding of hundreds of communities destroyed by Boko Haram, and he was worried about the displacement of more than two million people of the state. That appointment was one major challenge, and I took it up ready to die doing it or trying.”

Zulum clinched the APC governorship ticket after beating seven of the 21 contenders that participated in the primary.

In terms of diligence, commitment, sacrifice and indeed giving-up-all for his people, can we compare any government official in Nigeria today to this man? I've followed him closely on media and I believe that if this man is given opportunity to preside over the affairs of our country, we could just start singing hossana! Prof, I doff my hat for you. Pls keep on keeping on the good job. Allah will reward you. How I wish I can personally come to shake your hands for a very good job in bornu state. Educating the citizens means you're giving them liberation. Allah bless you sir
