By GBENGA ADEOLA

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has

condoled with Hajia Sa’a Ibrahim, the Chairperson of the Broadcasting

Organisations of Nigeria (BON) and the Managing Director of the

Abubakar Rimi Television, Kano, over the recent death of her husband,

Alhaji Abba Ado Gwarzo.

 

In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, the Minister said the

death of Alhaji Gwarzo, a veteran broadcaster and an active member of

the Nigerian Guild of Editors, was a huge loss not only to the

journalism profession and Kano State but to the nation in general.

 

He urged Hajia Ibrahim and the entire family to take solace in the

fact that the deceased left an indelible mark in the service of

humanity through his years in journalism, during which he worked at

the Nigerian Television Authority, Hausa Service of the German

International Radio, Deutsche Welle, and the African Independent

Television.

 

Alhaji Mohammed prayed to God to grant repose to the soul of the

deceased and also grant his family, colleagues and the people of Kano

State the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
