It is with a heavy heart and profound sense of national loss that I received the news of the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari who died at the age of 82.

President Buhari was a notable leader, patriot, and elder statesman who served our beloved nation as both a military Head of State and President, to the best of his abilities.

He will be remembered as a courageous leader, a disciplined officer, and a committed public servant who made considerable contributions towards the peace and progress of our dear nation.

The late President was deeply admired across the strata of society for his decency, integrity and exemplary life of service. As a leader, he was selfless in his commitment to his duty and served the country with character and a deep sense of patriotism.

In his passing, Nigeria has lost one of its foremost leaders, and I have lost a respected colleague and elder. His legacy will continue to endure in the hearts of all who value sacrifice, integrity, perseverance and devotion to national ethos.

On behalf of my family and the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, I extend my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the good people of Katsina State and all Nigerians who mourn this great loss.

May Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and grant him Jannatul Firdaus.

HOUSE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN ON INTERIOR SECURES 175 FEDERAL JOBS FOR CONSTITUENTS

The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Interior, Hon. Abdullahi Aliyu Ahmed, has secured permanent and pensionable federal employment for 175 constituents into various public and civil service.

The beneficiaries who cut across the Musawa/Matazu Federal Constituency of Katsina State, have been absorbed into the Federal Fire Service, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Police Force, Nigeria Army, Federal Medical Centres and Federal Teaching Hospitals in the country.

42 of the constituents have been recruited into the Federal Fire Service, 18 into the Nigeria Immigration Service, over 100 for the Nigeria Police Force and Army and 15 for the Federal Teaching Hospitals and Medical Centres across the country.

This life-changing initiative underscores the first Dujiman Katsina's unwavering commitment and determination to ameliorate the economic crunch and enhance self-sufficiency in his constituency through jobs scheme and empowerment grants.

Presenting letters of appointment to some of the appointees, Ahmed promised to continue to do everything humanly possible to eradicate unemployment and poverty in the constituency.

He said the humanitarian gesture is devoid of political undertone, but aimed at improving the personal and general socio-economic situation of the people of Musawa/Matazu federal constituency.

The lawmaker noted that his major focus was to ensure that all graduates from his constituency were meaningfully employed with permanent and pensionable appointments or empowered with skills acquisition and training.

Ahmed reiterated that the employment of the youths and his revolving skills acquisition programmes will also provide meaningful opportunities for young people to enter the workforce and contribute to the nation’s economy.

He congratulated the 175 beneficiaries on their new roles and encouraged them to approach their work with dedicatio
