Nigeria

The Co-Chairman, Interfaith Coalition Conference, Engr. Daniel Kadzai have commiserated with the family of the Nigerian former President, Muhammadu Buhari and President Bola Tinubu over the passing of the ex-Head of State.

Kadzai, who is also a former Youth President Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), particularly lauded the federal government for immediately dispatching a high powered delegation to London to facilitate the repatriation of the body of the late President.

He praised Tinubu for also declaring a seven-day mourning by the lowering of the national flag in honour of Buhari, adding that the public holiday declared on Tuesday is a testament of President Tinubu’s commitment to a befitting burial for the late Buhari.

According to him: “President Buhari’s legacy is firmly etched in the annals of Nigeria’s history as a statesman who led with distinction, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to national service, hence deserves all the attention.

“From his stewardship as Military Head of State (1984–1985), to his tenure as a democratically elected President (2015–2023), he remained a symbol of integrity and patriotic dedication.

“His administration achieved notable milestones in public sector reform, particularly through the implementation of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2017–2020 (FCSSIP-20) and its successor, the FCSSIP 2021–2025.

“These efforts enhanced transparency, strengthened the anti-corruption framework, expanded social investment programmes, and accelerated infrastructure renewal across the country.

“His enduring impact on the Civil Service, marked by the promotion of efficiency, accountability, and the digitilisation of government operations continues to drive administrative transformation.

“The Nigerian Public Service solemnly reflects on the loss of a leader whose values and principles redefined governance. President Buhari’s belief in merit, order, and the rule of law, laid a foundation upon which current reforms stand.

“As the Christian body honour his memory, we are comforted by the enduring influence of his ideals on our collective journey toward a more transparent, disciplined, and citizen-focused on patronising made in Nigeria products”, Kadzai said.

He called on politicians to emulate the late President, reminding them that death is inevitable, hence they should focus on doing the right thing.
