We had hardly grappled with the suffocating uneasiness that echoed the sudden reports that you will no longer subsist among your fellow humane today.
Though, you have being a Diabetic patient and an Insulin dependent, many people didn’t even noticed you are battling with it. You are always looking hale and hearty and going about your routine activities. As such, our ribs were violently hitting its cage in absconding from the ghasting news of the flying away of your innocent soul.
Ja’afaru Jaji was a quintessential gentleman who had studied Public Administration just for the benefits of all instead of himself.
Your departure is indeed a bubonic plague that must be felt by all and sundry. It is a great lost that never be forgotten out of sight. It touched both the ablers and less privileged.
Oh the terminator of glee! How cruelest are you? With all the destitues in the street, with all the travellers on trip, with all the hunters in the bush, with all the soldiers at the frontier. With all the victims of accident, yet, you stretch your lofty and honourable arms on a helper of the crippled ones.
What a lucky messenger! You happily cadenced into the life of many through Madugu Jaji Educational Foundation that carried along orphans from different slants. Your Six (6) years of fostering folks is indeed an everlasting alluring animate that would keep showering your soul with endless recompences.
Hundred of eyes became reddish and gloom, thousands of faces become wet with tears, thousands of chicks can no longer be dimply smile. Our chins have been wet and licking for moan.
To the Jaji family, you are a son. To Badiya Aminu, you are a husband. To Aisha and Al-Amin you are a father. To the political class in Taraba State especially Jalingo, you were a contestant. but to all the 119 orphans under Madugu Jaji Educational Foundation you are a beacon of hope and opportunity.
To people like me, you are a brother and friend whom I always tapped from your vast knowledge of modern businesses and Financial Management. To the Trans-Axis Group you are a worthy GMD and to the generality of your well wishers and supporters, they admire you even without seeing you physically. GMD, even in death, your face look calm and pulchritudinous.
GMD, your dead made us to feel so heartbroken. The memories you left are indelible and your passion to see a united, progressive, prosperous and rift free Sambo family will not die with your untimely demise In shaa Allah.
You are just one in many seasons. May good deeds of your present life supassed your shortcomings. And may greatest and lofty paradise be your final abode.
