“The passing of Hajiya Maryam Namadi Umar, a woman whose values and a remarkable legacy undoubtedly shaped your esteemed leadership, and the untimely demise of Abdulwahab Umar Namadi, a young life full of promise, leaves a void that cannot be filled.”
During this time of mourning, we join the people of Jigawa State in expressing our grief and solidarity. We pray that Almighty Allah grants the deceased eternal rest in Al Jannatul Firdausi and provides you, your family, and the people of Jigawa State with the strength and fortitude to bear this immense loss.
