Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. I received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Baba Nafiu Baba Ahmed, mni, a distinguished leader in Kaduna State. He was a statesman, a moral compass to many, Islamic scholar and Secretary General of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria. Baba Nafiu lived a life of service, scholarship and leadership. He had a distinguished career in law and public service, including senior service at the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation, and played an important role in the development of non-interest banking in Nigeria, including through his service with Jaiz Bank.
Beyond his professional achievements, he dedicated decades to advancing Islamic scholarship, justice, religious rights and the welfare of the Muslim Ummah through his leadership of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah. Kaduna has lost an elder whose knowledge, counsel and service extended well beyond our state. I still have very fond childhood memories of him growing up alongside his children, Ahmad and Nasir, in particular. I beseech your prayers for his eternal soul as one of his many children and not as the elected representative of the constituency he lived in. May Allah elevate his soul to the highest levels of Aljannatul Firdausi.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the entire Baba Ahmed family, the Supreme Council for Shari’ah, the people of Kaduna State and the entire Muslim Ummah. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and grant him Al-Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah grant his family the strength and patience to bear this great loss.
Signed

You sent graduates you claimed you are empowering to work since October 4 and till date you have not paid them their stipends. It is going to 3 months, have you wondered how they are managing to survive and transporting themselves to their PPA. Why are we wicked in this country?
