We were with him two days ago at the palace of Shehu of Borno and there was no inkling that his final days were near.
FORMER Minister under the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida regime, Bunu Sheriff Musa, is dead. He died at the age of 74. This was confirmed by the Secretary of Borno Elders’ Forum, Dr Bulama Gubio.
Bunu was an administrator and engineer who served as a federal minister of Mines, Power and Steel during the military regime of Babangida.
He also served as the Nigerian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to France in 1998.
However, Dr Bulama Gubio in his condolence message to the family wrote, “We’re deeply pained by his departure. He was a good man. We were with him two days ago at the palace of Shehu of Borno and there was no inkling that his final days were near.
May Allah accept their souls and reward them with aljannah for the wonderful things they did,” Gubio said.
