The Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC) extends its deepest condolences to the family, government, and people of Nigeria on the passing of Former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Director-General of NTAC, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Yusuf Buba Yakub, in a condolence message, said:
“On behalf of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC) and its management, I convey our heartfelt condolences to the family, government, and good people of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the passing of Former President Muhammadu Buhari. We remember his dedication to democracy, stability, and the unity of the country, as well as his unwavering commitment to the anti-corruption crusade, which endeared him to many Nigerians.
“May Allah grant him Aljana firdausi and grant his family and entire Nigerians the fortitude to bear the loss”.
Born in Daura, Katsina State in 1942, the former President distinguished himself as a soldier, a politician and a national hero of all time. Having held the position of Nigerian leader twice, a Federal Commissioner of Petroleum, a Military Governor of what is today the Northeast Geopolitical Zone as well as the head of Abacha’s development behemoth, the Petroleum Trust Fund, among others, Buhari in service was acknowledged to have lived above board and held his head high as an incorruptible Nigerian.
He will be remembered more by the principles he espoused in leadership than the monuments he built for self, kith or kin.
The Nigerian Technical Aid Corps joins the nation in mourning the loss of a leader who worked tirelessly for the nation’s progress.
