The founder of BUA Group, Abdulsamad Rabiu, has proved beyond any doubt that he is indeed a distinguished nerve in the business community with his BUA brand, and the effects are getting far-reaching.
Rabiu’s name and that of his company have become a household name in Nigeria. In fact, the businesses have continued to expand and grow drastically within the length and breadth of the African continent and beyond.
The billionaire industrialist has always bested himself in his exploits. With his visionary leadership, selflessness, service to humanity, and commitment to economic and social development, he has continued to worm himself into the hearts of Nigerians and beyond.
Society Watch gathered that this has spurred the organisers of PEARL Awards Nite to find the Kano State-born industrialist worthy of the prestigious Pearl Lifetime Achievement Award for National Economic Development at the 30th anniversary of the award event.
It was revealed that the Lifetime Achievement Award, instituted in 2020 in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of PEARL Awards Nigeria, is awarded once in five years and reserved for outstanding personalities who have contributed significantly to the pragmatic growth and development of the Nigerian economy.
The first recipient of this noble Award was Aliko Dangote. The distinguished recognition celebrates Rabiu’s remarkable achievements and contributions to Nigeria’s industrial growth in the manufacturing sector, the Nigerian Capital Market and the nation’s economy as a whole through exemplary and visionary leadership, innovative business acumen and excellent human and capital management.
As the nation prepares to celebrate this iconic milestone, the conferment of the PEARL Lifetime Achievement Award on Rabiu stands as a profound acknowledgement of his enduring impact on the nation’s economy and his role as an inspiration to the Nigerian corporate community.
The Award also serves as a reaffirmation of his outstanding contributions to national development through business, industry, and philanthropy.
