The death of the Director of Personnel Management (DPM) of Gadabuke Development Area, Hajiya Hauwa Abdullahi Idris has been described by the Nasarawa State Government as a big loss not only to the family and people of Gadabuke, but to the state as a whole.

Nasarawa State Deputy Governor, Chief John Mike Abdul, who led a state-government delegation on behalf of Governor Aliyu Akwe Doma, to commiserate with the family of the deceased said they received the news of her death with shock and grief, considering her good track of record as a civil servant and an administrator.

Chief Abdul said she combined her official duties with the running of her family which he said are attributes of a good and virtuous woman, praying God to condole the family and state. He added that the vacuum she created will be hard to fill.

He also prayed to God to protect and guide the deceased’s husband and the three children she left behind so as to continue in the realization of her dream of training her children which she had pursued vigorously, urging friends, family and other relations not to allow her dreams die after her passage.

Responding on behalf of the family, Alhaji Usman Bagudu thanked Nasarawa State Government for its care and concern by standing by the family in its trying moment, assuring that the family will ever remain grateful for such king gesture towards it.

Bagudu, who is a commissioner in charge of local government and community development and elder brother to the deceased’s husband, paid glowing tribute to late Hajiya Hauwa for been such a wonderful wife, mother and administrator who will be greatly missed for her honesty, uprightness and motherly advice.

The Deputy Governor also condoled the paramount ruler of Gadabuke, the Gom Babye at his palace.

Late Hajiya Hauwa Abdullahi died in a motor accident on Sunday 15th June, along Gwagwalada-Abaji road.
