Mallam Fika, the Waziri of Fika was a seasoned educationist and administrator and a native of Fika, Yobe State.

Fika, who was born in 1933, is the first and only Nigeria’s Head of Service to have resigned because he was not comfortable being at the helm of affairs when by his training, he perceived the civil service was being destroyed.

He was appointed a Mathematics and Physics Teacher, in his alma mater Barewa College, Zaria in 1956.

He later served as the Pro-chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria.

He was also the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF).

He held several significant positions, including Permanent Secretary of various federal ministries, such as Internal Affairs, Commerce, and Communications.

He also served as the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and made invaluable contributions to the development of Nigeria.

He received numerous honours and awards for his exceptional service, including the Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) by the Federal Government in 1992.

He was revered for his dedication, integrity, and leadership skills, making him a highly respected national figure, especially in the Northern region.
