Mama Ena Maud Alabi, mother of Kwara State Deputy Governor, Mr Kayode Alabi, is dead.
The Jamaican-born, Nigerian by citizenship and marriage, died in the early hours of Friday at the age of 98.
She retired as a senior matron at the Maternity Hospital, Amilegbe, Ilorin, in 1980, ending decades of impactful professional service as a health service provider and caregiver.
In a condolence message, Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, described Mama Ena as a humanist per excellence who served her community with her talents and rich network.
“On behalf of the Abdulrazaqs, the government and people of Kwara State, the governor sends his heartfelt condolences to the deputy governor and his siblings on this huge loss of a faithful mother,” he said.
He asked God to repose her soul and help the family stay strong and united through the mourning period and after.
