President Muhammadu Buhari has urged businessmen and contractors that benefit from government patronage to give back to society by engaging in Corporate Social Responsibility, (CSR).
The president, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated during a visit to the Emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Faruk Umar, at his Palace, in Daura yesterday.
“We don’t want cheques from anyone or organization as returns or influence of any kind. Let them remember their Corporate Social Responsibilities,” he said.
He noted that he would love to visit Daura more frequently, but for the high cost of presidential movements and exposing security personnel to the weather, assuring that his heart remains with the people.
In his remarks, the Emir of Daura thanked the president for always creating time to visit his hometown and the palace in spite of the tight schedule, adding that the President must remain focused on getting results particularly in securing the country.
At the meeting, the Emir publicly announced the conferment of the title of Taliban Daura on Yusuf Buhari, son of President Buhari.
He said a date would be announced for the turbaning ceremony of the President’s son.
The Emir also announced the creation of a District in the community of the president, with headquarters in Dimurkol.
He said the turbaning of young Buhari and the creation of the district was to further extend and deepen the long relationship between the Palace and the family.
