President Bola Tinubu has mourned the passing of ace broadcaster, Kabiru Usman Fagge.
Gatekeepers News reports that Fagge died at 77 on Friday in the United States of America.
He was an enduring name across the Hausa-speaking world for his long career with the Hausa service of the Voice of America (VOA), spanning 25 years.
In a condolence message, President Tinubu lauded his contributions to nation-building, particularly his sensitisation on and advocacy for education through the well-known weekly education programme he anchored.
The President said, “His desire to serve humanity through journalism started quite early from his days as a freelancer while teaching. We are grateful for his services through his chosen career and for being a good ambassador of Nigeria on such a global platform,” the President said.
He condoled with the family of the deceased, the government, and the people of Kano State, as well as the Nigerian journalism community over the loss.
