Celebrating a Life of Service: Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, OON, CON, Talban Minna at 70

All praise and glory be to Allah (SWT), Omnipresent Lord of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Worlds.

Today, I join your family, associates, friends, mentees, appointees, and the countless individuals who have been inspired by your remarkable journey of leadership, service, and wisdom to celebrate you on the auspicious occasion of your 70th birthday.

This milestone stands as a living testimony to the true essence of life itself, which is to worship Allah, to live purposefully, to serve humanity, to inspire others, and to contribute selflessly to the progress of society.

For the greater part of your seven decades on earth, you have exemplified a life of service to your community, to Niger State, and to our beloved nation, Nigeria. Your footprints in public service, education, leadership, and mentorship continue to illuminate the paths of many who came after you.

You have been a successful family man, community leader, profound orator, committed civil servant and a dedicated elected public servant.

At a very personal level, you supported my candidacy for the Presidency of the Students’ Union Government at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto in 2003 which I won. This was a pivotal moment in my life that marked the beginning of my journey as an activist and ascending into my ongoing political journey.

I served as a Special Assistant in your administration, and then you entrusted Barr. Mohammed Mu’azu Aliyu - your mentee with the task of restructuring the Niger State Development Company (NSDC) as Chief Executive Officer. I was privileged to be part of the outstanding team that worked to transform the company’s asset base, workforce, and strategic outlook. Those experiences remain a defining chapter of my business and professional life, preparing a great many of us in that generation to become employers of labour.

We hold you in the highest esteem, but Allah (SWT) holds you even more dearly for He has blessed you with longevity of life, wisdom in craft and articulation, and the grace to witness the fruits of your labour and attain higher stations.

At moments such as this, when we reflect on a life so richly lived, we are reminded that the true measure of greatness lies not in titles or possessions, but in the enduring impact of one’s deeds. To this, the impact of your life speak eloquently for you.

As you celebrate this special day, may Allah (SWT) continue to bless you with good health, renewed strength, and the peace that comes with a life well spent in worship, service, faith, and humanity. May your legacy endure through generations to come.

Happy 70th Birthday, Sir.

On behalf of myself, my Wife - Rabi’ah, and Muhammad Imam and his siblings, we wish you many more years of divine favour, prosperity, and fulfillment.

Yeah the chief servant of Niger state. The man did try in that state. He is better than this one that is initiating projects that he won't complete even in the next 8yrs.

Happy birthday sir

And someone said Babangida was very corrupt and did not do a thing!

This thief....

Stop celebrating a thief

This DARK Black 🖤 ⚫️ man had several EFCC cases on his neck

Nothing to celebrate. Ali Baba and the 40 BarawoOles

And someone said Babangida was very corrupt and did not do a thing!

The man is very rich before Obasanjo brought him from Abuja and made him a governor. I don't know if he's corrupt or not; I just know he is rich.

Another pulpit bandit, baba chop Niger State money

That man with black face and okpolo eyes

Celebrating a life of Jobbery

He was Chief Jobber

The Chief Servant
Talban Minna

The governor who didn't joke with education under his watch.

Thought that he was recently sick? It is well. I only admire him slightly for being an intelligent person as governor back then. Not an extremist

Talban Minna! Under his watch Niger state was peaceful! Happy birthday chief servant!

I suppose 70 is worth celebrating.

COMRADES, Bababgida is just 70? I disagree with this age, how old was he when he retired from the civil service almost 20 years ago?

Failed Governor, didn't do anything during is tenure.

Always with a red eye like he is on drugs....

Talba, the man did his bit, just like every other governor before and after him.

God bless the peoples governor, thank you for all the time you fed all of us live blocks away from your house.

Chief Servant

Happy birthday Talba Minna

Celebrating criminal ok o

Happiest Birthday Chief Servant you embody service to humanity is the best work of life, you made honest mistakes just like every human out there but your good consistently out shadows your flaws and I’ll always be in your corner, cheering on the good works you have done of which I am a beneficiary. I wish you the best birthday experience yet! Cheers…

He was rich from government treasury, he was a federal permanent secretary of aso rock. He was in pictures with USA president 🤷🏿

Happy Birthday The Chief Servant, Talban Minna...

I remember when I was still in FUT Mx... After the Tenure of Kure, he defeated David Umaru to become the Governor... He came with the Chief Servant Title 😂. Notably changed the face of Minna infrastructure wise... Refused staying in the Government house, allegedly turned his house in Shiroro to government house, his house was a 5 mins walk from where I stayed in Final year...

Days when North was sweet, calm and peaceful

the best governor Niger State ever had. More years, dear Chief servant in good health, prosperity and Allah's guidance.

Talban Minna. I remember this man back in my university days in Minna.

I went to minna when he was Governor. He has a billboard on every street advertising himself even as governor. This same crazy fellow held state executive council meetings in Abuja, moving the entire executive council to his sitting room in Asokoro. AS GOVERNOR I THINK HE WAS A FAILURE
