Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has expressed sadness, over the death of a Deputy Manager with the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ibrahim Maidoki.

Maidoki passed away recently in India where he went for medical treatment.

Yahaya described the demise of Maidoki, fondly called Ibro, as a big loss, not only to his immediate family and Tangale community but to the entire state.

He noted that the late Maidoki was a humble and generous civil servant, who lived a simple life characterised by devotion to God and commitment to people’s welfare and community development.

He said, “On behalf of the government and people of Gombe State, I convey my deepest condolences to the immediate family of the deceased, his associates and the Tangale community over the great loss, as we pray Almighty God to grant him eternal rest.

“We have indeed lost philanthropist per excellence who was well known for his commitment to helping the less privileged and the most vulnerable in the society, particularly widows and orphans through his foundation.”
