FUL Management Pays Respect To Liberian Husband Laid To Rest

Federal University Lokoja (FUL) Liberian's husband laid to rest as FUL management pays last respects at the funeral.

The entire Management of Federal University Lokoja (FUL) and members of the Principal Officers Committee (POC) under the leadership and chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olayemi Akinwumi, have commiserated with the University Librarian, Dr. (Mrs.) Sarah Dauda Yani over the passing of her beloved husband, SP. AP. Chief Dauda Yani Tyenkwa (Agwam Tsabta Bajju) who died at the age of eighty-two. Recall that the University Community, particularly members of Management were thrown into grief when the sad news of the passing of the Librarian's husband filtered into the air on May 10, 2023. 

While death is the price every human being must pay one day and comes to every mortal most times without notice which calls for circumspection and total submission to the will of God, the death of Chief Tyenkwa, however, came as a thunderbolt to members of Management who received the sad news with rude shock on that fateful day when the University Librarian was on an official function (meeting) along with other Principal Officers, as usual, at the Adankolo Campus in Lokoja.

Announcing the devastating news at a meeting the following morning, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Olayemi Akinwumi on behalf of the University Management expressed heartfelt sympathy to the Librarian and her family, admonishing her to take solace in the legacies and loving memories of the departed patriarch, while a minute's silence was observed for his peaceful repose. 

Consequently, FUL Management, on Saturday, June 24, 2023, sent out a powerful delegation comprising Principal Officers, Provost, and Deans to Katsit Kafachan Zangon-Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State to grace the burial ceremony and pay their last respects to the deceased as well as condole with the bereaved family.

At the funeral service, the late octogenarian and Agwam Zwang Bajju Samaru of Bajju Land was described as a cheerful giver and philanthropist on whose shoulders many leaned on and enjoyed succour until his journey to the great beyond. Little wonder he lived a fulfilled and very impactful life with a visible track record of selfless service to humanity. He was a religious God-fearing man and a strong pillar of support to his immediate family, community, and the church. The deceased derived great pleasure in helping people and making his home easily accessible to all including strangers. 

Indeed, the occasion was organized to celebrate the life and times of this selfless community leader who did not only live his life training other people's children and sponsoring them to acquire quality education but also dedicated his entire life and sacrificed his comfort for the good of others. He was like a blooming tree in a forest whose fruits.
