The Dutse Emirate Development Association (DEDA) has congratulated Ambassador Aminu Dalhatu Dutse on his appointment as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer II, Comrade Musbahu Basirka, the association described the appointment as a recognition of Ambassador Dutse’s competence, diplomatic experience, and dedication to national service.
DEDA noted that the decision to entrust him with one of Nigeria’s most strategic diplomatic missions reflects the confidence in his ability to strengthen bilateral relations, promote Nigeria’s interests, and enhance international cooperation.
The association expressed confidence that Ambassador Dutse would deploy his wealth of experience and professional expertise to serve as a worthy representative of Nigeria while projecting the values and aspirations of the people of Jigawa State and the nation at large.
It added that his tenure is expected to contribute significantly to advancing economic, cultural, and diplomatic relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
DEDA also commended President Tinubu for what it described as his commitment to merit-based appointments, noting that the selection of Ambassador Dutse demonstrates the President’s resolve to entrust key national responsibilities to capable individuals.
The association further applauded the Jigawa State Government under Governor Umar Namadi for the successful actualisation of the Dutse International Airport as a cargo airport.
According to the group, the development represents a major milestone in the economic and infrastructural advancement of Jigawa State and Northern Nigeria.
It stated that the operationalisation of the cargo airport would create new opportunities for agricultural exports, trade facilitation, investment attraction, and job creation, while positioning the state as an emerging logistics and commercial hub in the region.
DEDA therefore urged the state government to sustain its commitment to projects capable of improving the economic fortunes of the people.
The association once again congratulated Ambassador Aminu Dalhatu Dutse and wished him a successful tenure as he represents Nigeria in the United Kingdom.
