The minister was also applauded and appreciated for his numerous contributions to the growth of the water sector since he assumed office over seven years ago by dignitaries, family members, friends and well-wishers.
Responding, Engr Adamu, appreciated the kind gesture of the dignitaries for organising such an event to honour him.
He said, “On assumption of duty, I told the directors that I am not one of those quintessential politicians who would want to become a senator, governor or even president after office, and so I would do my job professionally.”
