President Bola Tinubu is deeply saddened by the passing of Adamu Fika, a distinguished figure who once served as the head of the civil service of the federation. Fika, aged 90, passed away on Tuesday, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of service to the nation.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu expressed his heartfelt condolences. He highlighted Fika’s significant contributions in nurturing the enduring institution responsible for the articulation and implementation of public policies within the Federal Civil Service.
“Alhaji Adamu Fika’s life of service to Nigeria saw him hold various important positions before his elevation to the Office of Head of the Civil Service of the Federation—a post he held until his retirement,” President Tinubu remarked.
Fika’s immense contributions as both the Head of Service and the chairman of different civil service reform panels will forever be etched in the annals of Nigeria’s history. His dedication and commitment to the progress of the nation were unparalleled.
As Nigeria mourns the loss of this remarkable individual, President Tinubu called on the government and people of Yobe, Fika’s home state, to take solace in the legacy of accomplishments, integrity, passion for service, and commitment that Adamu Fika left behind.
President Tinubu concluded his statement by sending his prayers and best wishes, saying, “May Allah forgive his sins and grant him Aljannah Firdaus.” The president’s condolences echo the sentiments of the nation, as the loss of Adamu Fika is deeply felt by all.
May the memory of this extraordinary figure serve as an inspiration to public servants and fellow compatriots to strive for excellence and emulate his unwavering commitment to the service of Nigeria.
