Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje commiserates with Kano Emirate and families of the late Jarman Kano, Professor Isah Hashim and that of Dr Muhammad Uba Adamu, the biological father of the Dual-Professor, Prof. Abdallah Uba Adamu, who is the current Vice Chancellor of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).
The death of the two academics and leaders in their own right, “Came to us as un-absorbing shocks, because of the preserved and highly responsible positions these gentlemen held during their lifetime. They were all shining and guiding stars of their generations and beyond.”
“While Professor Isa Hashim the late Jarman Kano was an astute administrator whose position in the Kano Emirate stabilised many things within the traditional institution, Dr Muhammadu Uba Adamu was an icon whose love for scholarship manifested in his immediate family setting,” said governor Ganduje.
Governor stated that, ” It is on sad note and disturbing development, that I am, on behalf of the government and people of Kano state, praying for Allah’s Blessing and Forgiveness for the gentle souls of the late Jarman Kano Prof. Isa Hashim and Dr Muhammad Uba Adamu, the father of Prof. Abdallah Uba Adamu.”
He prayed for Allah’s Mercy for the departed souls, “The deaths are not for the Kano Emirate and the families of the deceased gentlemen, it is indeed a great loss for the state and country in general. We thank Allah that they left behind indelible marks. Where society will continue to tap from.”
Ganduje further disclosed that, “Both Dr Adamu and Professor Hashim were part of the most respected and respectful Kano Elders, whose lifestyle and life view were always in tune with their people. Theirs was people, people and people.”
He urged their families to continue from where the gentle souls stopped, maintaining that, “The only way out of all crises, in this world and hereafter is to follow their footsteps. May Allah give you and us the fortitude to bear these irreparable loss. May Allah see them all through.”
