Taraba State Governor, Arch. Darius Dickson Ishaku has expressed heartfelt sympathy with the people of Mbamnga Chiefdom on the death of their paramount ruler, Ambassador Emmanuel Njiwah.
In a press statement issue by the Senior Special Assistance on Media and Publicity, Bala Dan Abu, said he received news of the sudden passing of Ambassador Njiwah with deep shock and described the traditional ruler’s death as a huge loss to Taraba State and Nigeria as a whole.
He described the late Njiwah as a diplomat, Njiwah who served his country with utmost sense of duty and patriotism.
Gov. Ishaku said the bridge of unity and cooperation built by Njiwah between Nigeria and the Republic of Cameroon where he served as Nigeria’s ambassador, endured till today.
According to him, Njiwah was an outstanding diplomat, dependable community leader and patriot.
Gov Ishaku said Njiwah’s death less than three years into his reign as the paramount ruler of Mbamnga Chiefdom has robbed the people of the community and Taraba State in general of his mature leadership, community service and exemplary life of charity and prayed God to grant his soul eternal rest.
