“Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.”*
I must congratulate my mentor, friend, sister and a mother, former Secretary of NLC and NANNM, Kaduna Council, Comrade Christiana John Bawa for her transfer to office of NNANNM, Headquarters Abuja.
Her transfer to Abuja has created a wide vacuum that would be very difficult to fill at NLC Kaduna State Council but only few know this.
Comrade Christiana is one of the most committed, hardworking, fearless, courageous and dauntless woman i came across in 2019.
- Christiana John Bawa intermediates Comrades with her wealth of experience particularly on struggle, years of service, knowledge on trade act and industrial relationship during her time in Kaduna activated the moral of our Comrades who went to sleep. Media Relationship
Christiana understood the importance of media in the struggle, media must be involved because nothing is achieved without the media.
She dedicated her life to labour struggle, she contributed her quota that gave advantages to Kaduna State Council of NLC which became first in the whole country for labour activities in 2021 under Chairperson Comrade Ayuba Magaji Suleiman.
Christiana is a woman with a golden heart, she doesn’t believe in African time, she touches many hearts during her stay in Niger and Kaduna States Councils respectively.
During the NLC interactive session with Governorship candidates, She asked a question to Labour Candidate on African time that took him time to answer.
Christiana hates only those that are lazy and cannot deliver, her goal is to move the Council to a greater height. She respect people’s faith, she believes in commitment not religion, region or ethnicity
My first meeting with former Secretary of NLC, Kaduna State Council Christiana John Bawa was during the inauguration of Chairperson NLC, Kaduna State Council Comrade Ayuba Magaji Suleiman ‘s first Exco at NUT Conference and since then we became family.
I will always remember her voice calling Tijjani and Talatu.
(Tijjani is the Messenger of the Council while Talatu is the Secretary in her office)
In life, we often hear that ‘perseverance pays off’. It is no secret that each generation wishes to nurture and raise the next generation in a way that is greater than themselves. And to do this, elders often teach the values of hard work, focus, dedication and perseverance.
My dear Comrade, i wish you a successful stay in your new place of work!
