Mr Abdul Samad Rabiu, Chairman of BUA Group, has rejected his nomination as member of the Standing Committee on Finance by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was stated in an official statement issued by Tim Sogbeinde, Head of Creatives &Visual Identity Management at BUA Group.
Citing reasons for declining the nomination, the statement cited Mr Rabiu’s demanding schedule, making it impractical to commit time to the role.
BUA Group Chairman however appreciated the APC for acknowledging the company’s commitment to national economic prosperity and development.
“Our Chairman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, is a firm believer in leveraging business acumen and philanthropic activities to drive development and positive societal change independent of political participation.
“His primary contributions to Nigeria’s advancement will continue to be through strategic investments in the economy and philanthropy rather than through political affiliations or roles.
“He, however, remains committed to supporting governmental policies that foster the desired development as partners in progress.
“We trust this statement provides clarity on the matter and reaffirms our chairman’s dedication to Nigeria’s progress in the roles he is most suited for—those of an entrepreneur, businessman, and philanthropist,” the statement emphasised.
