As a Sickle Cell patient, that, according to the governor, did not slow her absolute dedication, resilience, responsible and responsive fight for others in the community, against the health challenge, emphasising that, “She was an exemplary shining star as well as a HEROINE.”
“It is pertinent to therefore, on behalf of the government and the good people of Kano state, extend our heartfelt and deep sadness condolence over this lost, while remembering the gap created by this death, to her families, Sickle Cell communities across the nation, friends and all other groups,” he said.
Her footsteps were big enough to accommodate many feet before the Sickle Cell community gets the most appropriate replacement, adding that, “We must encourage others to take a leaf from her many contributions when she was alive. As young as she was, she achieved many things in life. Things that were people-centred. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.”
