The Local Government Accountability Mechanism (LGAM), Kaduna state, received the news of the gruesome killing of Honorable Rilwanu Aminu Gadagau with unbelievable shock and deep sadness.
This is a great loss not just to his family and constituency but also the State and nation as a whole. He was not only a young and dynamic leader but also represents the aspiration of many young people in Kaduna state.
We recall with nostalgia the advocacy visit we recently paid to him, as Chairman House Committee on Local Government, towards fostering partnership in strengthening transparency and accountability in Local Government administration in Kaduna state. He had enthusiastically assured us of not just his willingness but commitment to the partnership. Indeed, we mourn the untimely death of a friend to the civil society and partner in progress.
In his honor we hereby announce the postponement of our Public Policy Dialogue, on Strengthening Local Government Fiscal Sustainability and Service Delivery, to the second week of January 2022. We will equally forward our condolence letter to the Kaduna State House of Assembly. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and the entire state.
We pray Allah grant him Aljannah Firdausi
Signed
Yusuf Ishaku Goje
