A Royal Honour: Alhaji Isyaku Shettima Named "Dan-Shettima Nupe (Daudu)
A proud moment awaits the Nupe Kingdom. As His Royal Highness, the Etsu Nupe has conferred one of the Nupe Kingdom’s most revered titles,"Dan-Shettima Nupe (Daudu)", upon Alhaji Isyaku Shettima, a distinguished son of the land.
The new "Dan-Shettima Nupe (Daudu)", Alhaji Isyaku Shettima, built his career at the Central Bank of Nigeria, rising to the rank of Deputy Director.
In that role, he stood at the forefront of safeguarding Nigeria’s financial stability.
He helped to regulate financial institutions, guide reforms through periods of economic turbulence and restore confidence in the nation’s financial system.
He chose to exit the Apex Bank at the peak of his career. As the elders say: “An actor should leave the stage when the ovation is loudest.”
But his impact extends far beyond the boardroom.
He is widely known for quiet philanthropy, accessibility, and deep humanity.
Over the years he has been a pillar of support for education, youth empowerment, health assistance, and religious causes within his community.
From humble beginnings to the highest levels of financial regulation, his journey is a source of inspiration. The new royal title only amplifies the respect he commands in both traditional and modern circles.
In his acceptance, he expressed profound gratitude to the Etsu Nupe for the singular honour.
He pledged to carry the title not as a badge of status, but as a call to greater service.
The conferment of "Dan-Shettima Nupe (Daudu)" is more than a ceremony.
It is the merging of heritage and expertise. Of tradition and nation building.
As he steps into this new chapter, he carries with him the hopes of his people and the blessings of the throne.
His story reminds us that true honour is not given, it is earned through a lifetime of service, integrity, and dedication to the common good.
