One of the major things that stand a man out of the crowd is his principles and values that he exhudes. In essence, the concept of standing for what is right even if one is alone as espoused by the late Gani Fawehinmi comes so close in defining the person of Abdulkadir Ibrahim Jatto.
An exemplary personality who has contributed immensely to the towering status of this medium from its conception until this very moment.
He is stuffed, highly resourceful and vast in the knowledge of the world around him. Even when there seems to be a difference between the line of his academic certifications and his flair for Journalism, one thing that stands him out is his urge and zeal to know more.
His pioneering spirit is another great quality that has characterized the life of Jatto.From his exploits as a leading Campus Journalist figure at Usman Danfodio University,Sokoto to being an intern with the Nation newspaper where he shone brightly amongst his peers among other inclinations so prepared this budding Ilorin-born Journalist for the future that lied ahead of him.
More professionally and prominently, leading the communication department of the Kwara Football Academy for about a decade with innovations and a world class approach has established the football institution as one of its kind in the whole of Nigeria.
There is a part of him that has also etched his name in the book of history. Having to champion the first and biggest kiddies football league in Kwara State takes an extraordinary mind who never seizes of dreaming and achieving it.
He is such a goal oriented personality whose diplomacy and human relations tendencies has endeared him to many discerning minds.
Intellectually, Jatto is a voracious reader who is so inquisitive of what happened in the past, keen to measure the reality of the present to imagine and build a version of what the future holds.
His love for literature, art and culture is deeply rooted in his understanding of the very dynamic and heterogenous society like ours. What else do you expect from someone who has been to all the States in Nigeria and talks about them with such a liberal perspective.
A perfect family man. It’s quite obvious that Jatto has been deliberate about building a family of repute. Having to marry an outstanding lawyer was inspired by the fact that a ‘learned’ and ‘lettered’ woman with such amazing values like Halimah is what a visionary person like him deserves.
A strategic partner to every project he is part of. One thing you can’t take away from Jatto is his commitment to every undertaking. From news room to board room, he has cut a special deal for himself using logics, statistics and empirical thoughts towards achieving short, middle and long term goals.
Once again, The Informant247 celebrate Jatto as her Strategic partner, an experienced Journalist, human capital development specialist, communication expert and media guru.
