Among them, Professor Abdullah Uba Adamu from Bayero University’s Department of Mass Communication noted, “Dan’uwa has always had a unique voice in broadcasting, a voice that commands respect. His ability to convey messages with clarity is unmatched.”
Dr. Sa’idu Ahmed Dukawa, Senior Lecturer and former Head of the Department of Public Administration at Bayero University, Kano advised Dan’uwa to prioritize ethics in his work.
