Daura Honour, Says \u2018Queen Amina of Our Time\u2019 Deserves the Title<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By Zainab Tanimu<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The National Legal Adviser (NLA) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barrister Murtala Aliyu Kankia, has described the conferment of the traditional title \u201cMairamar Kasar Hausa I\u201d on the Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, as a fitting recognition of her growing role in promoting Hausa heritage and culture.<\/p>\n<p>The title, meaning\u00a0<strong>\u201cFirst Daughter of Hausa Land,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0was bestowed on Musawa by the Emir of Daura, Dr Umar Faruk Umar, in recognition of her contributions and standing.<\/p>\n<p>In a congratulatory message, Kankia said he had long believed that Musawa would rise to a position where she could effectively represent Hausa land and project its rich cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know one day she will earn a position representing Hausa land and its heritage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The APC Legal Adviser said the honour had taken on added significance given Musawa\u2019s current responsibility as Minister overseeing Nigeria\u2019s arts, culture, tourism and creative economy.<\/p>\n<p>Kankia also recalled that Musawa had previously been described by some as\u00a0<strong>\u201cQueen Amina of our time,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0drawing a parallel with the legendary Hausa warrior queen, Amina of Zazzau.<\/p>\n<p>He said the comparison reflected the expectations surrounding Musawa\u2019s public role and her capacity to champion the identity, history and cultural heritage of the Hausa people.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the traditional recognition should therefore be viewed not merely as a personal honour for the minister but as a call to greater responsibility in preserving and promoting the heritage she has been entrusted to represent.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed confidence that Musawa would continue to use her office to advance Nigeria\u2019s cultural heritage while strengthening the contribution of the creative and tourism sectors to national development.<\/p>\n<p>The conferment also comes at a time when the Federal Government is placing increasing emphasis on arts, culture, tourism and the creative economy as avenues for economic diversification, job creation and the promotion of Nigeria\u2019s national identity.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APC Legal Adviser Hails Musawa\u2019s Daura Honour, Says \u2018Queen Amina of Our
