President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has condoled with Professor Attahiru Jega, the special adviser on livestock development, on the passing of his wife, Hajiya Hadiza Jega.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, who attended the Janazah prayer for the late Hadiza Jega at the National Mosque, Abuja, on Sunday, conveyed the President’s condolences to Professor Jega and his family.
The President described Hajiya Hadiza as a woman of uncommon grace, character, and a strong anchor for Professor Jega as he navigated public life, including serving as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
President Tinubu also extolled her support for education and community development.
“Dear Professor Jega, it is with a heavy heart that I receive the news of the passing of your beloved wife of over 40 years. Hajiya was an exceptional woman. I mourn this painful loss with you and your family and pray that God Almighty grant her Aljannatul Firdaus. I stand with you and your family at this difficult time,” President Tinubu said.
