Ex-Kaduna Capital Territory Administrator dies, Tinubu mourns

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sympathised with the family of the Administrator of Kaduna Capital Territory in the 1960s, Alhaji Abbas Dabo Sambo, “whose life was defined by service and dedication to nation building”.

Tinubu spoke in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, on Thursday in Abuja.

Ngelale said the President condoled with all the leaders in the northern part of the country and other zones, who were mentored by the administrator of the former capital of the Northern Region, with the strong values of integrity and diligence.

He added: “President Tinubu acknowledges the deep sense of patriotism Alhaji Sambo brought into the service of the fatherland, from an early age until his retirement, extolling his sacrifices and fidelity to the cause of a progressive nation.

“The President prays that God Almighty will grant the soul of the departed leader eternal rest and comfort his family in this time of mourning.”
