The Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria yesterday mourned a former Minister of Sports and ex-president of the Nigerian Institute of Building, Bala Ka’oje, who died on Tuesday at the age of 60.
REDAN President, Alhaji Aliyu Oroji Wamakko, in a statement, expressed shock over Ka’oje’s demise.
He said the former minister’s death had thrown Nigeria’s sporting fraternity, real estate and construction sector into a mourning mood.
- Tears, woes of Bayelsa communities razed by rival militant gangs
- Miyetti Allah alleges killing of 21 members
He described the late ex-minister as a dignified, detribalised, unassuming administrator and real estate expert who showed great passion and interest in the development and improvement of the real estate and construction sector and that of Nigeria sports.
He said Ka’oje was, until his death, a member of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria Board of Trustees.
Wamakko prayed Almighty Allah grant the soul of Kaoje eternal rest in paradise; and his family, friends, associates and Nigerians, the fortitude to bear the loss.
