Understandably, all stakeholders in the education sector in particular and nation building in general, hail the weekend conferment of Honorary Doctorate Degrees of Letters on both the founding President of Nigeria Labour Congress , Comrade Hassan Adebayo Sunmonu, and foremost African Industrialist, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, by the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria as part of the 41st Convocation Ceremony of the University in Samaru, Zaria.
Dangote, leading capitalist and investor in many sectors including textiles and sack factories is my friend and Comrade in the campaign for re-industrialisation of Africa.

Hussein Sunmonu who took the centre stage and NOT comrade HA! Many were in disbelief when Engr. Hussein Sunmonu disclosed he was receiving the award on behalf of his twin brother.
