Governor Matawalle was devasted when he heard of the sad news of his death, saying,’ late Munirat was a very good man who had an excellent relationship with me, government and people of the state.
Matawalle recalled how the deceased reported the state positively during his short stay in the state, even at the detriment of being sanctioned by some of his colleagues.
”The deceased was a thorough developmental journalist and not one of those armed chair journalists who stay in the comfort of their rooms to dish out false and fake news without recourse to abiding with the ethics of the profession”.
He urged the family to take solace in the Qur’anic verse that says, ‘Every soul shall have the taste of death, prayed to Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdausi.
While responding, the wife of the deceased, Maryam Mohammed, said, ”We least expected this gesture from the government, saying she was happy with the encomiums and praises she had been receiving from his colleagues and friends, particularly from Zamfara State.”
Food items donated included 4 cartons of noodles, 4 bags of rice (50kg), 2 cartons of Spaghetti, 2 cartons of Marconi, cooking oil (50kg) and 16 packs of swan water.
