KHAIRAT GWADAGBE GOES INTO FOOD BUSINESS

After completing her term as a Senator in the National Assembly, Khairat Abdulrasaq Gwadabe now has found a new vocation, with which she keeps herself busy. The 52-year old, has veered into the booming fast food business, with the setting up of Drumstick Fast-food chain. The venture is a franchise she bought from a company in South Africa. So far, Senator Khairat has set up two outlets in Abuja-Miatama and Wuse, and one each at The Palms, Lagos, Jos and Lokoja. The successful turnout of these outlets seems to have buoyed her determination to set up more outlets in other major towns in Nigeria. Blessed with a charming personality, Khairat is the daughter of Chief Folorunso Abdulrasaq, the first Senior Advocate of Nigeria from the northern Nigeria. She is an active member of the Nigerian Senators’ Forum, and is also a member of the National Dialogue Committee, which was set up by President Goodluck Jonathan during the last Independence celebration. Khairat has been preaching the gospel of Drumstick to her friends and associates. And when she is not running her chain of outlet, Khairat enjoys the company of her husband, Colonel Lawan Gwadabe, the former Military Governor of Niger State and her nine-year old son.
