The statement signed by the SGF’s spokesman, Willie Bassey described the late Dr. Buwai as a philanthropist of note and a committed son of Zamfara State who contributed to the creation of the state as well as the enunciation of various agricultural programmes in the country.
While commiserating with the government and people of Zamfara State and his family, Mustapha prayed Allah to grant the deceased Al jannatul Fir’daus.
Dr. Malami Buwai has since been buried according to Islamic rites in Zamfara State.
