The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, has commiserated with the families of former Minister of Labour, Alhaji Musa Gwadabe and the Registrar of Bayero University, Jamil Ahmed Salim, who recently passed away.
Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta on Thursday led a delegation of top officials of the Commission on condolence visits to the families of the two prominent Nigerians in Kano. During the visits, Danbatta prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed.
He described the late Alhaji Musa Gwadabe and the Registrar of Bayero University, Kano as patriotic Nigerians who contributed immensely to the development of the country in various capacities.
He said, “We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Alhaji Musa Gwadabe and the Registrar of Bayero University, Kano. They were great Nigerians who made remarkable contributions to the development of our dear country. They will be greatly missed.”
The loss of such great minds is not only one for their families, but also for the entire nation, he said. He, however, urged the families to take solace in the fact that their loved ones lived exemplary lives and left indelible marks in the sands of time. “We pray that the Almighty Allah grants them eternal rest and gives their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
The EVC also paid a similar visit to the Vice Chancellor of the BUK, Prof Sagir Adamu Abbas who expressed gratitude for the visit, just as the families of the deceased did.
