BIOGRAPHY OF TAJUDEEN J ABBAS


"I saw in him someone of tremendous capacity." - Gbajabiamila

During the election on Tuesday, Abbas secured 353 votes to defeat Sani Jaji, a Zamfara lawmaker who polled 3 votes, and Idris Wase, a Plateau lawmaker and former deputy speaker, who had 3 votes too.

But who is Abbas, the lawmaker representing the Zaria federal constituency of Kaduna, who will lead the green chamber for the next four years?

BORN INTO ROYALTY

Birthed into royalty, Abbas was born three years after Nigeria gained independence on October 1, 1963, into a ruling family in the Zazzau Emirate nestled in the ancient city of Zaria, Zaria LGA of Kaduna state.

He holds the traditional title of Iyan Zazzau. His great-grandfather was an emir in the Zazzau Emirate. He comes from the Mallawa dynasty of the emirate. Meanwhile, his mother hails from Dutsen Kura in Malumfashi LGA of Katsina state.

By the dictates of the longstanding tradition, Abbas finds himself within the sacred order of succession. He is in line to ascend the illustrious throne as the Emir of Zazzau.

From tender years, little Abbas radiated an aura of exceptional greatness, embodying the rare qualities of a child predestined for the zenith.

Abbas was enrolled at the LEA Primary School, Lemu, Zaria, where he obtained his first school leaving certificate (FSLC). Continuing in his pursuit of knowledge, he went to the Government Secondary School in Makarfi, where he acquired the West African Examination Certificate (WAEC) in 1978.

With an insatiable hunger for academic excellence, he obtained a Grade I certificate at Kaduna Teacher’s College in 1981. Abbas then proceeded to Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria where he studied ing and bagged a diploma in 1984.

His academic odyssey continued unabated as he obtained a B.Sc in business istration from Ahmadu Bello University in 1988. He bagged an M.Sc in business istration from the same institution in 1993. Abbas went further to get a PhD from Usman Dan Fodio University in Sokoto.

He also obtained another B.Sc in Business istration Management from Usman Dan Fodio University.

CAREER IN CIVIL SERVICE

Abbas’ journey is a captivating tale that saw him blossom from the position of a primary school teacher to an esteemed senior lecturer at the university.

Abbas was a primary school teacher from 1981 to 1988. In June 1998, Abbas decided to temporarily veer away from the familiar path of civil service. He delved into the private sector, ing the Nigerian Tobacco Company (NTC) Plc in Jos. For three years and three months, he held the esteemed position of a general manager, navigating through the complexities of the industry.

Abbas later ed the Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic in September 2001, where he lectured until June 2005.

A month after, Abbas embarked on a new chapter at the Kaduna State University. With determination and dedication, he ascended the ranks, reaching the pinnacle of a senior lecturer, a testament to his profound knowledge and commitment.

Yet, just when his academic career seemed to have reached its zenith, the allure of politics beckoned. In 2010, Abbas made the audacious leap into the unpredictable murky waters of politics, bidding farewell to the halls of academia.

PARLIAMENTARY VOYAGE

Abbas was first elected to the federal house of representatives on the platform of the now-defunct Congress for Progressive Change (C) in 2011.

In a stunning display of , he triumphed once again in the 2015 elections, this time on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC). Abbas took on multiple roles as a member of various committees within the hallowed green chamber.

He was the deputy chairman of the house committee on legislative compliance between 2011 and 2015. Following the inauguration of the house in 2019, he was appointed to chair the committee on land transport.

Tajudeen was also saddled with other legislative ad hoc assignments in the lower legislative chamber. In 2019, he was appointed as the treasurer of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (African chapter).

He was a member of the governing council of the Nigerian Institute of Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) where he represented the north-west geo-political zone from 2019 to 2023.

Abbas was the APC Kaduna caucus leader in the house of representatives, a position he held since 2019. In 2021, he was appointed the chairman of the house of representatives sub-committee on the constitutional review conference for the north-central.

Despite the numerous roles he handled, Abbas did not take a back seat in delivering his core constitutional mandate of lawmaking. He sponsored several bills and motions. The lawmaker is described by his colleagues as a“silent achiever”.

During his four years stint in the 9th lower legislative chamber, he sponsored 74 bills; out of this extraordinary tally, over 18 received presidential assent.

Until recently, many Nigerians were oblivious of his remarkable achievements as Abbas humbly shied away from the limelight.

In recognition of his exceptional legislative achievement, OrderPaper Nigeria, a news media organisation dedicated to reporting parliamentary affairs, recently bestowed upon Abbas an award for being among the top performers in the 9th national assembly.

MAN OF MANY FIRSTS

In the course of his career, Abbas has had the golden chance to blaze the trail, sculpting a formidable bedrock for those after him.

He is the only federal lawmaker from the north-west geo-political zone who has thus far sponsored an unprecedented 74 bills. He is also the first since the return to democracy in 1999 to have sponsored such a number of bills and remains the first to have over 20 signed into law.

Abbas was the pioneer head of the Department of ing and Finance, Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria. He also pioneered the Department of Business istration at the same institution.

The legislator was the pioneer head of the Department of ing at Kaduna State University.

Aside from the fact that Abbas was the anointed candidate of the APC, he was also the preferred candidate of Femi Gbajabiamila, his predecessor.

Amid swirling whispers that Gbajabiamila ed Abbas even before the ruling party’s nominations, Gbajabiamila denied any such allegiance to Abbas when confronted by other contenders in the race.

However, breaking his silence after the APC declared Abbas as its preferred choice for the speakership position, Gbajabiamila said he threw his weight behind Abbas, describing him as a man with extraordinary capabilities to guide the parliament.

“So, I decided to a person that’s least close to me of everybody that is running because I saw in him a man with tremendous capacity,” Gbajabiamila said.

"My point is, he quietly makes his impact, very quietly. When I found out that he had drafted and sponsored 74 bills, I said what kind of human being is this? I mean who does that? To draft and sponsor one bill can take a year, can take two years of thorough research. But to do 74, when you are not a bill factory. Not only did you sponsor 74 bills, you actually had 21 of them signed into law.

“I nominated him for the hip of the African Parliamentary Union in 2019. But he got there and made a name for himself. Whenever I attend the conference of the union in Rwanda, Uganda or Cairo or wherever, rather than the legislators from other countries coming around me, I was abandoned. And they, at each time, each conference, gravitated towards Tajudeen Abbas.

“I spoke to the speaker of Kenya one time and he asked me how long Tajudeen has been in parliament, I told him. He said that each time his come home, they keep talking about him (Abbas). He ran on his own and became the treasurer of the African parliament.

“So, Tajudeen is somebody I felt we could be proud of as of the house of representatives. That’s not to say that others don’t have the capacity. But there’s capacity, and there’s capacity.”

‘INDEPENDENCE OF LEGISLATURE WON’T BE COMPROMISED UNDER ME’

Speaking during an interview recently, Abbas said the 10th national assembly won’t be a rubber stamp if he’s elected the speaker.

The previous assembly was perceived by some Nigerians to be a “rubber stamp”. Abbas said while he will maintain legislative independence, the parliament will work with the executive for the benefit of Nigerians.

“There will be no way that the independence of our national assembly under our leadership will be compromised. This you can take to the market,” he said.

With Abbas ascending the throne of the number four seat in the country, all eyes are fixed on him, as he orchestrates the symphony of the green chamber over the course of the next four years.

iammo:


15 Eastern Senators vote definitely didn't reflect in Akpabios win, for Yari to have 46 votes

Don't be a FOOL.


It is the core North muslims that voted for Yari. All of them.


Seems you still don't know and understand muslims. You haven't learnt from 2015.


South-East voted a Christian, 100% -- no exception.

Gajagojo:

I believe SE voted Yari

They didn't. 100% Akpabio.

Why do you think Kalu and Izunazo stepped down on the eve of the elections.

SOUTH EAST NEVER VOTES A MUSLIM.


Please edit your comment.

Respect St. South-East

30 years later another urba will rule Nigeria for just three months.


Thanks for removing subsidy. God reward you in heaven.

We now the batton over to Peter Gregory Christian ticket Obi.

The only solution for Nigeria's unending problems is to have every Nigerian Baptised.

How?

1. Pray One Our Father, and One Hail Mary everyday for the Baptism of ALL Nigerians.
2. Sponsor those in the North & South active about the evangelization of pagan muslims. Transfer them money.
3. Speak to muslim as often as you can. Baptise them.
4. Never ever vote a muslim at any level.
5. Pray to St. Patrick the patron saint of Nigeria to obtain that ALL Nigerians be Baptised.

One Nigeria under God. "Go, Baptise them, teaching them." Words of Our Lord (Mtt 28:19)

iammo:
I don't even have the urge to charge my phone any more... Light is just there, everywhere

BTW this is Ibadan... And it's been over 2 weeks the light got really good

Light has been non-stop in Anambra since September .

Brown roof, no borehole, no Catholic Church is just waking up.

1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary daily for Obi to recover his mandate.

More of this. I hope to open my own full venture one day by God's grace.

The Catholic Church has been sustaining Nigeria since 2014, helping Nigerians both survive Buhari's eight ( years - & Tinubu's muslim muslim early days; sustaining his dullness, Northern muslim antics, attempted mil coups etc.

Protestants by now should know that their heresy is from hell --- reason why they are empty, nothing before God -- despised by el rufai.

Go to a Catholic Church and ask for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Pray the Rosary daily and seek the intercession of St. Joseph and all the saints.

Ewezuga Catholic Church and all heretical empty NG protestants would have been tying head scaff by now.

"Outside the Catholic Church, there is no salvation." Fourth Council of Florence, 1215.

"There is but one Universal Church of Christ outside of which there is no salvation." Pope Boniface VIII, Cantate Domino

Taylor92:
USA retirement age is 62

Canada retirement age is 64

UK retirement age is 65


Tinubu don rush go raise him own to 70 so we could have more Demented ancestors in the government

He will soon extend Political age group to 97 to justify why he’s ruling at 91

US: 66
: 66.5

As for Superior Courts: "For life [>70years]"

Atiku and Tinubu both rigged their 14k votes because NO Anambra person will vote for muslim ticket.

We are not error Christians like Adeboye in danger of "I never knew you".

NaijaCowFarm:

I pay my driver 120k, which by the way is minimum wage to me. If you cannot pay, drive yourself, you do not need house help when you cannot pay.

Minimum wage of N100k is about $133 at current official exchange rate. During GEJ, N30k was equivalent to $183, so even at that the people are poorer.

Those asking how can government pay, have forgotten that government was paying over Trillions on subsidy. Half of that money is all they need to cover the new wages. If you priced petrol in $, common sense demands that you also match wages to the same $

1. Will you enforce it in the North? In your neighborhood? (Ask them).

2. Can all work yield more than 1.3x the "N100,000" productivity monthly? -- Gatemen, Private teachers, etc


If I were President, I will set a figure I can enforce , not some select salary for 5%.

The current task is to regain purchasing power (increased production, business environment, petroleum production & fx, loot recovery, better productivity...)

Hopefully by 12 months #30K = $100+ ($130, $150, $200)


Being able to ensure people even universally earn the #30K, at reasonable purchasing power is the main focus.

GRV can win his case. I think so.

So will you and NLC management be paying your househelp and gateman at least N100,000 per month?


They should keep the N30k and make the naira recover its value.

Hope an Igbo qualified man gets appointed FCT Minister.

cocolacec:
Maginalisation of Yorubas and Hausasin the South East.They pay taxes and develop Igboland too.

You are a very wicked soul


Except you were joking.

President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday received the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting comes barely 24 hours after Tinubu ordered the Department of State Services to vacate the Ikoyi office of the anti-graft commission.

Bawa who arrived at the Villa few minutes past 2pm was ushered into the President’s office complex.

Although the purpose of the meeting is not yet public, it may be connected to the reported frascas between the EFCC and the DSS.

President Tinubu had on Tuesday, directed the Department of State Security Service to immediately vacate the Ikoyi office of the EFCC in Lagos.

He also met with the Vice Chair of China's National People's Congress, China equivalent of the Senate.

The delegation was sent by the Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Parachoko:
Nigeria GDP is more than $300B

$300bn = N134trn (2022 value)

10% = N13.4trn ✖️🚩


3% = N4.0trn ✔️ -- real terrorist figure of 2022. Worked for remnant Christian-Christian appointees.


GOD Bless Bola Patricius Tinubu.

Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia) will be the next Senate President by God's grace.


Even Bola Patricius Tinubu may tilt towards him last minute.



Christian-Christian Nigeria. Give not aboki a chance in aeternum.

Lie with ease. GDP was about #150trn.

10% = #15trn.

FG has never gathered #7trn revenue.

NNPC wasn't even paying for 7 months.



Should be about 3% ratio. The Bubu type of results.

Make I go my Company.

Our people at Anambra should start up that refinery they put on freeze bc of fuel subsidy prices.



Bye bye Buhari. Chai. God thank you.

dyera:
Fuel subsidy removal have not yet come to effect but Tinubu don go announce am, now see what is happening, price of fuel everywhere have increased when fuel subsidy removal have not yet come to effect. This is what happens when you swear in a senile old ancestor as president. Expect more speech blunders from him.

NNPC told him at a meeting yesterday that in the first place FG will have to pay #2.8trn to keep the current fraud in place. He cancelled it.

That money should be used to provide three million jobs.

yarimo:
Is that mandatory in the Nigeria constitution

Yes. Even Tinubu has Baptised. The Blessed Virgin Mary baptised him.

Only a Christian can become Speaker.

Tukpa8:

This is not to insult any tribe but just a question that answer for...if you know the answer please give us..thank you.

as an igbo person ever been swear in as nigeria leader?

1. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Oct 1st 1963 -- ruled three years.



2. Ironsi (Jan 15 1966) -- Mil Gov from 1966 but was extra foolish. Rest is history.

New Pump prices from NNPC after order from Tinubu (May 30th meeting):

-Port Harcourt: #511
-Awka: #520


Brown roof, well (no borehole), city without Catholic should pick their own prices from list -- last column, effective today.

1. Govt imports fuel at N600/L. ($1/L abroad + sea trsp).✔️

2. Pays about N400/L out of it to sell it to Nigerians at N200/L.✔️ (N400x80mLs = #trn / year)


Foolishness?
Yes . Acute foolishness.

3. The revenue that was supposed to be used to launch satellites, build farms, industries, fund education / research, establish industrial zones, housing is used to pay for one import jambouree item.

4. It means ALL the Nigerians that were supposed to work in sector (3) above become inactive.

5. Nigeria funds one commodity but allows nine more to lie fallow.

6. They struggle to import the products of the other nine: wheat for bread; cow milk for powdered milk production; cars; smartphones; expatriates etc

7. You save #1 and spend extra #3 or #10 for liking "nfe" [free].

1. Without subsidy:
Cost of fuel: 9% annual salary
Inactive dependents: 9% annual salary
Other costs: 32% annual salary

Savings1: 50% annual salary (with prospects of growth in coming year)

2. With subsidy:
Cost of fuel: 3% annual salary
Inactive dependents: 30% annual salary
Other costs: 87% annual salary

Savings2: -20% annual salary (you dip into your past bank savings).
