President Bola Tinubu has extended condolences to the Asholyio people in Southern Kaduna, on the passing of His Highness, Dr. Tagwai Sambo, the Chief of Moroa.
The late traditional ruler was on the throne for 58 years and is regarded as one of the longest-reigning traditional rulers in northern Nigeria.
He played a pivotal role in the establishment of Kaduna State University, serving as its pioneer Chancellor.
President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said the late traditional rule led a life of selfless service, dedicated to education, peacebuilding, and community development.
