The Chief of Air Staff in the country Air Marshall Isiaka Oladayo Amao has been recognised for his leadership efforts and commitment to Community development by the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC.
The Council in a letter of approval signed by its Chief Revenue Officer Mr Danlami Awaje named a major drive within the Municipal after the Air Chief in appreciation of his contributions to national development.
The letter said the recognition is a way of expressing the Council’s appreciation for his commitment to the nation’s security as well as his community development efforts.
The letter said the over three kilometres drive will now bear “Isiaka Oladayo Amao Drive”, adding that this would help entrench his name as a true friend of the council.
