KWAC Forum Mourns Its Chairman, Professor Nuhu Yaqub
The Kogi Central and West Forum for Equity and Justice has expressed shock over the passing of its Chairman, Professor Nuhu Omeiza Yaqub.
The forum said that the passing on Saturday, January 4 2025, “of this icon of social justice, true Nigerian patriot, and a respected cosmopolitan public intellectual is a most distressing start off to the new year for us at the forum and Kogi State in general.”
They stated these in a statement co-signed by its Co-Chairman, Chief J.O Yusuf and Secretary, Dr. M.D Keyi.
“Prof. Nuhu Yaqub, having straddled the academia with admirable sterling records, devoted most of his post-retirement time to good society advocacy, pushing the frontiers of egalitarianism, equity and justice, particularly in his home state.
“He exerted himself to no end in building bridges and fostering unity and promoting good governance for sustainable development, sub-nationally, and nationally ally,” the statement read.
The forum said that the deceased made his mark on the sands of time as a celebrated scholar, social engineer, and community leader and exited the stage of life with a bequest of nobility.
“He will be sorely missed, but we take solace in the fact that his life and times were remarkable.
“We commiserate with his immediate and extended family, as well as his friends, associates, and mentees. May his great soul find repose,” they said.
