SECURITY: EKITI GOVT PRESENTS CASH GIFT TO SLAIN SOLDIER’S WIDOW



Ekiti State Government has presented cash gift to Mrs Aisha Attahiru Abdulquadir, widow of Lance Corporal Attah Abdulquadir, the soldier who lost his life on 24th October 2018 while on duty in Ogotun Ekiti.

Presenting the gift, the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, said the gesture was borne out of government’s concern for the survival of the widow and her son following the death of the family’s breadwinner.

The widow was accompanied by her 3 year-old son, Mustapha.

Oyebanji who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Cabinet and Special Services Department, Mrs Olabisi Akindele said Ekiti State Government shared the pains and grief of the deceased’s family and the Nigerian Army; adding that the cash gift was to help the deceased’s wife “start a business and move on”.

The SSG who noted that government appreciated the service of the slain soldier in ensuring security of lives and property along the Ogotun axis where he was stationed, stressed that the Fayemi-led administration would continue to appreciate security personnel for risking their lives to protect the State and its citizens.

Responding, the Brigade Commander of 32 Artillery Brigade Akure, Brigadier General James Ataguba thanked the state government for providing succour for the deceased’s family; stressing that the administration has shown that “it has human feelings”.

Ataguba who was represented by Colonel Uchechukwu Simon said the government’s gesture will encourage all security personnel to put in their best in serving the State.

Nice

Good

Rest in peace to the departed soul. May God protect the widow and the fatherless boy. Ekiti state government, una do well.

lovely

I just hope its somtin tangible and worthy of thanks......rip to d dead

They shouldn't give her any gift.
She brought it on herself. She must have had other suitors but settled for the soldier because she wanted the 'effizee' of a military wedding.

I don't have any pity for any young girl that marries a soldier.
I see them as masochists who don't want to enjoy a happy marriage because experience has proven that wife of soldiers have a higher propensity of becoming widows.

So if you agreed to marry a soldier, you invariably also agreed to widowhood.

The new chief press sec is also named olayinka like Lere?

Fayemi fayemo

Ma niggah

..

All na political gain

APc and Buharis incompetence killing Nigerian soldiers since time immemorial..


Please let's vote out lifelessness

It's a welcome development.
But the Ekiti State government can do better. It should not end at cash gift.
They should ensure the little boy gets the needed educational training .

When i saw Ekiti and cash gift, my mind went immediately to stomach infrastructure, forgetting that that criminal idiot Fayose has left. Now we have sense, decorum and sanity in that state again.

kudos

A new Sherrif is in town....

Good job Mr Governor

The sum of 5000 was given to them

Tell your Gov to play similar political gain.

How much abeg cause e fit be 200k like that.

Smh. What is good about it? What about other soldiers who die on a daily basis? Will they also get cash gifts? You people should stop encouraging rubbish. I am not saying the widow should not be taken care of but this is not the way to do it. In the U.S army, any soldier who dies "legally" will automatically have his spouse the beneficiary of 100k within 72hrs and 450k a few months later. It doesn't matter where it happens. There is no such thing like state governments giving cash gifts in normal societies. This is why they rob you guys blind.

I doubt it. As long as it is a Nigerian in charge, it will always be the same.

The Nigerian army will not do anything again.someone will share the mans benefit into two & give the family half then used the remaining for their frivolous life style.

So soldiers are not allowed to have their own next of kin nawa oooo with your level of thing try to put ur self in his shoes in d sense dats the only option he had to fend for his family be human pls
