The Northern Governors Forum has described the death of former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Obadiah Mailafiya as a great loss to the nation as well as the entire Northern region.
Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon
Bako Lalong said the death of Dr. Mailafiya is a sad development not only to
his family, but to the nation because of his enormous contributions to the
socio-economic pursuits of Nigeria.
Lalong described the late CBN Deputy Governor as a
consummate financial expert and vibrant intellectual whose local and
international reputation is highly acknowledged, having been sought and
deployed for the benefit of Government and private entities around the world.
While commiserating with the family, Lalong said the
legacies of Dr. Mailafiya will continue to be celebrated as he showed passion
for development, emancipation, truth, justice and equity in all his
interventions at various platforms.
He said such aspirations for a better Nigeria and the
upliftment of the downtrodden motivated him to vie for the office of the
President in 2019 which afforded him the opportunity to expose his vision for a
better Nigeria.
Lalong extends the Forum's sympathies to Governor Nasir
el-Rufai, the Government and people of Kaduna State.
