Buhari Mourns As Top Govt. Official Dies.

The Director-General of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru in Plateau state, Prof. Habu Galadima, has been confirmed dead.

Galadima’s death was made known in a statement signed by NIPSS Secretary/Director of Administration, Brid Gen CFJ Udaya (retd.).

Udaya noted, Galadima passed away Sunday morning after a brief illness.

It said:

 ”On behalf of the Board of Governors, Management and staff of the National Institute, we regret to announce the sudden demise of the Director General/CEO of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies NIPSS, Prof Habu Shuaibu Galadima which occurred this morning 20th December, 2020 after a brief illness.

 “He will be buried according to Islamic rites.”

However, Galadima’s death came barely one year after assuming office as the Director-General of NIPSS in August 2019.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has described the late Prof. Habu Galadima as one of the best Director-Generals to ever head the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS).

The President said this on Sunday via a statement by his official spokesman, Garba Shehu which conveyed his reaction to the death of Prof. Galadima.

As earlier reported by Naija News, Galadima passed away Sunday morning after a brief illness. His death came barely one year after assuming office as the Director-General of NIPSS in August 2019.

Buhari in his reaction said the late DG is “an intellectual colossus who stood tall in the field of scholarship and knowledge.”

Adding that “Galadima was an eloquent and remarkable intellectual whose contributions to scholarship were vast & remarkable, & Nigeria will continue to remember him for these contributions,” the President said while commiserating with his family, friends, the govt. & people of Nasarawa State.

President Buhari noted that “with the death Galadima, NIPPS and Nigeria at large has lost one of the best DGs ever appointed to head the institute.”

He also prayed to Allah to forgive the soul of the departed and reward his good deeds.
