The Governor of Adamawa State, Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri took time of his tight schedule to condole with the family of the late Dr. Yaro Gyella, a former Secretary to the Government of Adamawa State, who died on Friday at the age of 74.
Fintiri, who was at Gwarinpa family home of the late former SSG in Abuja, was received by family members, Senator Mohammed Mana and Professor Barkindo, a retired federal Permanent Secretary and bosom friend of the deceased.
The governor in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Hunwashi Wonosikou, described his death as shocking and painful, particularly at this period when Adamawa State and, indeed, Nigeria needed his experience and expertise.
He noted that the tenure of Gyella Yaro as SSG witnessed tremendous achievements and developments in the State.
Describing him as an astute academic and technocrat, Fintiri prayed that Allah grant the deceased Aljanna Firdaus and give the family, friends and associates fortitude to bear the loss.
Fintiri was accompanied by the Yobe State PDP Governorship candidate in the last election, Alhaji Bello Iliya Damagun and his aides.
