Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state has mourned Prof. Mohammed Gujbawu and Nuhu Clark with deep sorrow over their deaths on Tuesday.
Gujbawu and Clark before their passing away in Maiduguri and Indian hospital, were the Head of Mass Communication, University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) and the State’s Commissioner of Poverty Alleviation respectively.
Spokesman of the Governor, Isa Gusau, disclosed, yesterday (Thursday), in Maiduguri that the contributions of the two illustrious sons of Borno state were huge to be replaced.
“The State government and the good people shall ever remain profoundly grateful,” said Zulum, adding that they are to be remembered for fighting poverty, unemployment and illiteracy during his administration.
Continued; “Clark served as Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation from 2019, before he resigned in 2022 to contest the State Assembly election which he won to represent Chibok constituency in the state.”
He added that Clark will also be remembered for his impactful services as former Chairman of Chibok, Special Adviser and Nurse who helped in saving the lives of people in hospitals.
On the contributions of Prof. Gujbawu, he said; “The erudite Professor, will also be remembered as an academic; who impacted knowledge on countless number of students through his scholarly lectures and supervision of research works at UNIMAID.”
He said that this included his authorship of books and academic articles.
According to Zulum: “He was being an academic administrator at the University Departmental and other levels.
“He will also be remembered for his contribution to the growth of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in which he had served as State Publicity Secretary beside his other media guidance and supportive services that helped successive administrations in the state.”
He, therefore, prayed for the repose of the souls of the departed men.
“May God also gives their families and other loved ones the strength to bear the irreparable losses,” he said.
End.
