According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President sent a condolence letter to the Head of the Sule Katagum family.

The President, who described the death of the traditional ruler as a great loss to the nation, said he received with shock and sadness news of Katagum’s death.

He wrote, ‘‘I have known him and followed his illustrious career, which spanned the First and Second Republics. His leadership of the Federal Public Service Commission, which was the longest and most eventful, had been with great distinction and uncommon grace.’’
