A high-powered delegation of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), on Sunday, paid a condolence visit to the Kano home of the family of the late Air Vice Marshal Hamza Abdullahi, who died, on Thursday, in a German hospital.
The delegation, which was led by the Chief of Staff, Alhaji Mohammed Bashir Mai-Bornu, presented a letter of condolence to the family on behalf of the FCT minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello.
Bello, in the letter, said the entire management and staff of the FCT administration were touched by the demise of the former FCT Minister.
While noting that death is an inevitable end to every mortal existence, the minister said members of the FCT family were, however, consoled that late AVM Hamza Abdullahi distinguished himself as an astute statesman and exemplary leader while serving his country in the military and particularly as the minister of FCT between 1986 and 1989.
