The President notes that her dedication to the Women Fellowship and her position as ‘Uwar Zummunta’ mirrored her dedication to selling unity, mutual assist, and peaceable coexistence amongst members of the Christian neighborhood.
He believes that Mama Bogoro’s legacy of religion and repair will stay a supply of inspiration to her household and the COCIN neighborhood.
President Tinubu extends his heartfelt condolences to the Bauchi State Government, Professor Bogoro, members of her household, the management and members of COCIN, and her pals, notably the Women Fellowship in Shendam LGA of Plateau, the place she resided earlier than her demise.
