The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, has described the late former Minister of Labour, Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, and the Registrar of Bayero University, Kano, BUK, Jamil Ahmed Salim, as patriotic Nigerians who contributed immensely to the development of the country in various capacities.
