The Unseen Currency: Why the Useful and Valuable Are Most Sought After By Mahmud Tanko PhD

In the theatre of life, the truly courted are not merely the wealthy or titled, but those who master the art of being useful and valuable. This currency of impact is defined not by what one has, but by what one does. The dedicated scholar, whose research becomes a public good, and the career public servant, who translates ambition into tangible reality, are sought after by the powerful because they are the bedrock of lasting dynasties.

This principle is vividly embodied in Nigerian politics by His Excellency Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the Governor of Adamawa State. Governor Fintiri’s value proposition is rooted in a demonstrable record of service and transformation. Through policies focused on infrastructure, urban renewal, and inclusive governance, he has established himself as a leader who delivers tangible results for his people. His commitment to accessible education and women’s empowerment builds a foundation for a more robust society.

Because he is a man who gets things done, Governor Fintiri is not just a politician; he is a cornerstone. This is why he is assiduously courted by a wide spectrum of people. Business leaders seek his partnership to leverage his infrastructural vision, and community elders view him as vital to ensuring lasting development.

The ultimate validation of this principle is Governor Fintiri’s recent political realignment. His demonstrable value as a transformative leader made him an indispensable asset on a national scale. It was this very reputation for usefulness and the capacity to build a legacy that compelled President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to successfully bring him into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The high and mighty do not just seek a name; they seek insight and impact. President Tinubu’s move confirms that true value, as exemplified by Governor Fintiri, is the most sought-after currency in building an enduring political dynasty.
