Nentawe Yilwatda, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), traveled to Kano State to offer his condolences to Mustapha Dawaki, his chief of staff, regarding the death of his mother.
Professor Yilwatda offered the Dawaki family his sincere sympathies during the visit to Kano, praising the late grandmother as a woman whose ideals and legacy are obvious in her son’s character and public service.
After a protracted illness, Hajiya Binta Bala, 83, passed away.
In compliance with Islamic customs, her janaza (funeral) prayers were held last Saturday at the Dawakin Kudu Central Mosque in Dawaki Town.
He prayed for her soul to rest and for the grieving family to have courage and solace at this trying time.
The APC National Chairman visited the Police Private School (PPS), Dawkin Nkudu, an educational program founded by Hon. Dawaki to improve access to high-quality education in the state.
The school, which has expanded to more than 700 kids in less than two and a half years, is one of Dawaki’s many empowerment initiatives to improve communities and invest in human capital.
As an academic man, Professor Yilwatda praised Hon. Dawaki for his vision and dedication to education, pointing out that intentional investments in knowledge and character development are the first steps toward sustainable development.
He described the school as a lighthouse for molding Nigeria’s future leaders and commended the administration and personnel for their commitment, professionalism, and the supportive atmosphere they offer.
Residents of Dawkin Nkudu and the adjacent communities welcomed the APC National Chairman with great enthusiasm during the condolence visit, demonstrating Hon. Dawaki’s strong grassroots contacts and popularity in the area.
In closing, Professor Yilwatda urged ongoing community-based programs that uplift youth, improve social cohesiveness, and reaffirm the APC’s dedication to people-centered development nationwide.
