President Bola Tinubu has condoled with his Special Adviser on Livestock Development, Professor Attahiru Jega, over the death of his wife, Hajiya Hadiza Jega.

Vice President Kashim Shettima, who attended the Janazah prayer at the National Mosque in Abuja on Sunday, conveyed the President’s condolences to the bereaved family.

Tinubu described the late Hadiza Jega as a woman of grace and strong character, noting her role as a pillar of support to her husband throughout his public service career, including his tenure as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

He also commended her contributions to education and community development.

“Dear Professor Jega, it is with a heavy heart that I receive the news of the passing of your beloved wife of over 40 years. Hajiya was an exceptional woman. I mourn this painful loss with you and your family and pray that God Almighty grant her Aljannatul Firdaus. I stand with you and your family at this difficult time,” the President said.
