The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Farouq Umar, will on February 5, 2012, confer a traditional title on the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, in Katsina State.

This was disclosed in an invitation card seen by The Star on Saturday.

According to the invitation card, the Emir will confer a traditional title of “Dan Amanar Daura” on Amaechi at his palace in Daura, Katsina State.

Amaechi, who was first appointed minister in 2015, was reappointed by President Buhari in 2019.
