Minister Pays Condolence Visit To Family Of Late Director Of Information, Abuah

The top management of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture
on Wednesday paid a condolence visit to the family of the late
Director of Information in the State House, Mr. Justin Abuah, who
passed on recently.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, led a
delegation comprising the Managing Director of the News Agency of
Nigeria, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Public Communication, Mr.
Emmanuel Agbegir, and the Director, Protocol and Public Relations, Mr.
Peter Dama, to the house of the deceased in Abuja.

The Minister described the late Abuah as a dutiful, self-effacing but
highly effective worker who spent a greater part of his career in the
State House and appealed to his colleagues to emulate his legacy of
service to the nation.

He commiserated with the family of the deceased and urged them not to
despair but to put their trust in God as their main comforter and
provider.

“After a few days, nobody will come here again but God will remain
with you and the children and He will guide you aright and he will
provide for your needs,” Alhaji Mohammed said.”Put your faith in God
and be strong. God will be with you. You will reap from his (Abuah’s)
goodwill.”

He said the death of Mr. Abuah is painful but noted that the family
should be consoled by the rich legacy left behind by the deceased.

Responding on behalf of the family, the elder brother of the deceased,
Dr. Arnold Abuah, thanked the Minister and his delegation for
identifying with the family in their most difficult period.

Mr. Abuah, who was born on Jan. 29, 1959, died on Sunday, Aug. 14
2016, in Abuja after a brief illness.
