Barely few days after leaving office as the President of the National
Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Usman Najeemdeen Yasin
has been bestowed with the title of Bashorun of Offa, Offa Local
Government Area of Kwara State.
Yasin, who had earlier served as the President of the Offa Descendant
Union (ODU) was conferred with the honour during the reception held in
his honour at the Olofa Palace, Offa, penultimate Sunday.
The Ojomu of Offa, High Chief Joseph Akinnola on behalf of the Olofa
of Offa, Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi Esuwoye II announced the chieftaincy
for Yasin in the presence of thousands of dignitaries at the palace.
In the same vein, wife of the former NURTW boss, Hajia Maryam Jummai
Yasin is to be conferred with the title of Yeye-Bashorun of Offa.
However, no official date has been announced for the decoration of the
former ODU President and his beloved wife, who is also due for
retirement.
When next you run into Yasin, call him Bashorun.
