Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), has announced the commissioning of a fully-furnished kindergarten school block in his ancestral village of Widana, Pusiga Constituency, as his contribution to the development of the town. Dr Hamid visited his hometown during the celebration of Founders’ Day to hand over the ultramodern facility to the community. He emphasised the importance of education, urging local residents to ensure their children not only attend school but continue their studies through to secondary level. “In my ancestral village of Widana, I commissioned and handed over to the people, a fully-furnished Kindergarten school block as my contribution to the development of the town,” he announced on his social media pages. “I urged the people to endeavour to send their children to school and keep them in school up to secondary school.” The NPA Boss’ visit to the region included a stop at Binpela, his father’s community, where he received a warm welcome from extended family members. He took the opportunity to encourage support for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Abdul-Hanan in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections, respectively. In recognition of his efforts, the Chief of Widana and local elders presented Dr Abdul-Hamid with a ceremonial smock.
