Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State has expressed shock and sadness over the death of Professor Nuhu Omeiza Yaqub, a former Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja.

In the statement signed by Ismaila Isah, his Special Adviser on media, Governor Ododo sympathized with the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, His Alhaji Ahmed Tijani Muhammed Anaje, the people of Kogi State and the immediate family of the late Professor Yaqub.

Governor Ododo prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the late Professor Yaqub and for Allah to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Professor Nuhu O. Yaqub, OFR , passed away Saturday morning in Abuja, after a brief illness.
