THE Arabic Institute of Nigeria (Mahadul Arabiy), Elekuro, Ibadan, Oyo State, has condoled with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the death of its Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Adnan Bostaji.
In a statement in Ibadan, the director of the institute, Dr Murtadoh Abdus-Salam, described Bostaji as a gentleman and a diplomat of note who used his experience to transform the embassy.
He said the ambassador would be missed for his kindness, understanding and eagerness to lend a helping hand to people during difficult moments at the embassy.
Abdus-Salam prayed Allah to make the deceased an inmate of Al-Jannah Firdaos and give immediate family, Saudi Arabia as well as the embassy’s staff members the fortitude to bear the loss.
According to him, although the death of Bostaji is painful, the institute is consoled by the fact that he led a righteous life.
