By Austin Asadu
As the nation marks its 66 years of independence as a sovereign, indivisible and indissoluble entity, a civil rights concern, the Legislative Writers Forum (LWF) has applauded the astute and prolific Major-General Taofik Temitope Siddick, Chief of Accounts and Budget of the Nigerian Army (CAB, NA) for having built ‘a credible reputation for unstinting hardwork, technical competence, unimpeachable integrity, unwavering diligence, unvarnished professionalism, outstanding achievement and exemplary professionalism not to talk of his renowned charitable, benevolent and philanthropic disposition to all and sundry’.
In an appreciative message by the LWF signed by its Head of Media, Comrade Austin Asadu, the LWF hailed ‘General Taofik Siddick’s exemplary acts of kindness, generosity and compassion to the adults, women, youths, children as well as the physically challenged, the infirm, the indigent and other vulnerable persons of society’.
‘We also express our heartfelt appreciation for your continous support, generosity and unwavering contributions to the development and wellbeing of your people, your colleagues and subordinates as well as Nigerians irrespective of ethnic, religious, sectional or partisan affiliations’
The Forum further extolled his ‘exemplary acts of service, compassion and leadership that has continued to inspire the Nigerian people while beseeching the Almighty God to grant the resilient General Siddick ‘continued strength and success in all his endeavors’.
Indeed, many who have had cause to interact with the adroit, humble and hardworking General Siddick either in his office at the Army Headquarters or in his private capacity, would doubtless agree with this resounding citation.
The accounting guru is a rare gem that has touched countless lives and livelihoods wherever he touches base, be it in home state, Abuja or any state of the federation.
And true to form, General Siddick carries out his official duties and operations in strict adherence to the cherished tenets of probity, transparency, accountability, due process and the rule of law.
In General Siddick’s impartial domain, hardworking and competent staff are duly rewarded and promoted while persistent laggards and chronic malcontents are advised to better shape up or be shipped out, no more, no less.
A steadfast General Taofik Sidick has also employed effective communication skills, working and liaising with different departments and secretariats both within and outside the Nigerian Army whilst managing multiple and varied tasks simultaneously through effective planning, organizing and prioritizing with a high sense of attention and detail to achieve assigned goals and targets.
‘As the nation marks its 66 years of independence, we heartily celebrate his resourceful, resilient, compassionate and patriotic contributions and we fervently believe that the sky is not the limit but merely a platform for the enduring General Taofik to achieve his glorious destiny as delineated by the Almighty God’ – the LWF communique beseeched.
