This life is scary. You be worried about some concerns/troubles or be striving to achieve some goals or even having your best moments and then boom, you are no more. That's where your journey ends and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Let's normalize celebrating kind people while they're still alive not only after they're gone.
I didn't know Dr. Bebeji personally, but today my timeline is filled with stories of his kindness, generosity, and the lives he touched.
It makes me wonder, why do we wait until people are no longer here before we tell them how much they mean to us?
I never met him, yet his passing truly touched me.
May Allah SWT forgive his shortcomings, grant him Jannatul Firdaus, and give his family and loved ones the strength to bear this loss. Ameen. 🤲💔
Inna lil Laahi wa inna ilaiHi Raaji'un!
I convey our heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives, associates, colleagues, and the entire Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria community, following the passing of Dr Sani Umar Bebeji, Assistant Dean of the Faculty of Law.
Dr Bebeji, a distinguished legal scholar and administrator, reportedly passed away on Saturday. His death has left colleagues, students, alumni, and the wider university community in profound grief.
Dr. Sani Umar Bebeji served as a Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and also as Assistant Dean, Undergraduate. He was an accomplished scholar, researcher, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) specialist whose passion for teaching and mentoring transformed the lives of countless students at ABU and beyond.
Though I did not have the privilege of meeting him personally, I was told by one of his students, who is very close and dear to me, about the kind of man he was. He was described as a mentor who believed in his students, challenged them to exceed their expectations, celebrated their successes, and stood by them in moments of disappointment. His patience, humility, and unwavering commitment to raising the next generation of lawyers left an indelible mark on all who were privileged to learn from him.
His legacy lives on in the many lives he shaped, the lawyers he trained, and the values he instilled.
News of his passing came as a shock to many, especially as he was reportedly active on his Facebook account shortly before the news broke.
The same student also attested that throughout his career, Dr Bebeji was known for his dedication to teaching, mentorship, and service to the Faculty of Law and to Ahmadu Bello University. His contributions to legal education and student development earned him the respect of colleagues and of generations of students. She further attested to his moral discipline, generosity, kindness to all students, and strong academic credentials.
His death is a significant loss to the university community, to the legal profession, and to Nigeria. May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, expand his grave, grant him Al-Jannatul Firdaus, and give his loved ones the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.

PRESS RELEASE
NATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL, DALA SEEKS PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTH-WEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
…NWDC to Explore Alternative Power Supply for Newly Donated MRI Facility.
The Management of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Dala–Kano, on Tuesday paid a courtesy visit to the North-West Development Commission (NWDC) at the Commission’s Headquarters in Kano, in a move aimed at forging institutional collaboration between the two federal establishments in the delivery of quality healthcare to the people of the North West.
The delegation was led by the Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr. Nurudeen Isa, accompanied by members of the Hospital’s Top Management Committee.
Addressing the Managing Director/CEO of the Commission, Prof. Shehu Abdullahi Ma’aji, Dr. Isa gave an overview of the Hospital, highlighting its status as a federal tertiary institution and its range of specialised services in orthopaedic and trauma care serving Kano and the wider North West region.
The Medical Director informed the Commission that the Hospital had recently received the donation of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) — a facility with the potential to significantly strengthen diagnostic capacity across the region. He, however, drew attention to the operational challenges confronting its deployment, and requested the Commission’s support in providing a reliable alternative power supply to sustain its use.
The Managing Director explained that the Commission is presently focused on quick, high-impact priority interventions designed to deliver visible relief to communities across the zone within the shortest possible time. He shared the Commission’s health agenda, which includes the renovation and upgrading of Primary Healthcare Centres across the senatorial districts of the seven states, the introduction of telemedicine, and the deployment of outreach and mobile clinics to reach underserved and hard-to-access communities.
On the Hospital’s request, Prof. Ma’aji assured the delegation that the Commission would look into the provision of an alternative power source that would enable the MRI facility to operate 24 hours, uninterrupted. He noted that a diagnostic asset of that value must not be left idle for want of power, and that ensuring its full utilisation would serve patients drawn from across the entire North West.
The Managing Director further noted that the Commission would examine the range of services rendered by the Hospital with a view to identifying viable areas of partnership, and would await the Hospital’s proposal and work towards a considered response.
Prof. Ma’aji commended the Management of the National Orthopaedic Hospital for its dedication and the quality of care it renders to the people of the region, and reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to giving its best in support of shared objectives — noting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, expects the Regional Development Commissions to demonstrate concrete and measurable impact in the lives of the people they were created to serve.
The visit ended with an exchange of pleasantries and a group photograph.
