President Bola Ahmed Tinubu condoles with the Eta household of Cross River State on the passing of Madam Nkoko Etagbo Eta, who was 76.
Madam Nkoko Eta was the sister of Ntufam Hilliard Eta, Chairman of the Governing Board of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and former nationwide Vice Chairman, South-South of the APC.
The President described the late Nkoko Eta, who retired from a distinguished profession within the Federal Civil Service in 2008, as a doting mom, a faithful Christian chief, and a cherished member of the family whose love, kindness, and presence touched many lives.
“Madam Nkoko lived a lifetime of outstanding service, love, and devotion. Though her passing leaves a painful void in your coronary heart and within the hearts of those that knew and cherished her, I urge you to search out solace and inspiration within the lovely recollections she created, the lives she influenced, and the religion she lived by.
“As you put together for her remaining journey on October 24, I pray that Almighty God will grant you and your loved ones the energy to bear this irreparable loss.
“May her soul rest in perfect peace,” the President stated.
