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