The ancient town of Daura in Katsina State has become a beehive of activities as dignitaries besieged the town for the turbanning of Transportation Minister, Romimi Amaechi as the Dan Amanar Daura by the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Umar Farouk Umar.

Dan Amana means the trusted one in Hausa.

The Nation gathered that the decision to honour the Minister was taken in appreciation for his contribution to the siting of Federal projects in Daura Emirate of Katsina state.

A source close to the Emir’s palace told The Nation that among federal projects influenced by the Minister to Daura are the University of Transportation, Federal Polytechnic, Daura and the Kano to Niger rail line which will pass through Daura.

“Ordinarily, the rail line is supposed to go straight to Kano and then to Niger Republic. But Amaechi influenced it’s passing through Daura without the knowledge of Buhari.
