in
March
2003
in
Abuja,
In
2020
the
Adamawa
State
chapter
of
the
Nigerian
Union
of
Journalist
was
gracious
enough
to
bestow
on
her
a
merit
award
in
recognition
of
her
role
in
promoting
and
supporting
the
media
in
the
state
when
she
was
the
information
commissioner.
Her
last
public
duty
was
the
commissioning
of
the
3.16
kilometers
Nyibango/Yolde
Pare
township
roads
in
the
state
capital
on
Monday
27th
June
this
year
2022
as
an
honor
to
her
by
His
Excellency
the
Executive
Governor
of
Adamawa
State
Right
Honorable
Ahznadu
Umarta
Fintiri.
On
that
historic
occasion,
yours
sincerely
to
whom
the
late
amazon
was
an
amiable
granny
and
a
strong
supporter
had
written
an
article
which
was
published
in
His
space,
In
which
was
said
inter
alia
'Honor
will
always
call
out
whom
honor
is
due
to.
Respect
will
always
be
given
to
whom
respect
is
due.
This
was
exactly
what
transpired
when
His
Excellency
Ahmadu
Umaru
Fintiri
invited
elder
statewomen
Chief
Mrs.
Fibi
Nancy
NAdah
to
commission
the
3.16
kilometers
Nyibango/Yolde
pate
township
roads
on
Monday
27th
June
and
elder
statewoman
Akhaji
Ahidjo
Ramanga
on
28th
June
to
commission
the
4.6
kilometers
ATV,
Gotel,
NYSC
Damare-Badarisa
road
as
part
of
the
governor's
ongoing
urban
renewal/inf rastructure
development
which
has
been
his
area
of
focus
since
the
inception
of
his
administration
on
May
29,
2019.
Indeed
it
was
an
honor
well
deserved.
While
we
mourn
her,
it
is
however
a
source
of
joy
to
all
of
us
that
she
had
lived
an
exemplary,
peaceful
life
that
should
inspire
us
all
to
live
to
our
highest
ideas
and
societal
values.
The
earthly
journey
of
Chief
Fibi
the
Nzobwaratu
Bachama
which
began
on
2nd
February
1935
at
the
Numan
General
Hospital
has
effectively
come
to
a
glorious
end.
She
has
left
the
world
better
than
she
had
met
it
through
her
acts
of
kindness,
generosity,
dedication
to
public
service,
motherly
care
and
love,
etc.
No
words
can
be
sufficient
enough
to
extol
the
Colossae
that
she
was.
Commiserations
to
her
five
lovely
children
–
Dr
Tennoson,
Arch
Morcino,
Dinah,
Susan,
and
Mamadi
Nadah
and
all
the
grandchildren
and
extended
family
members
she
left
behind;
not
to
forget
the
government
and
people
of
the
state
as
well
as
Bachama
Kingdom.
Surely,
this
eternal
journey
of
hers
is
an
opportunity
for
a
reunion
with
her
late
husband
Ellon
Bayero
Nadah
who
was
equally
a
dedicated
public
servant
of
the
defunct
Gongola
State.
As
the
state
of
Adamawa
and
Bachama
Kingdom
ventilate
their
sadness
in
this
dark
hour
of
bereavement,
let
it
inspire
the
human
constituents
of
our
generation
to
always
strive
to
live
above
board
and
be
of
service
to
mankind
so
that
posterity
would
judge
them
kindly
as
well.
Adieu
Kaka
Fibi
Nadah,
you
were
a
leadership
laboratory
from
whom
we
should
all
learn.
Usoko
for
all
the
good
things
you
did
to
mankind,
Personally,
I
say
a
big
'thank
you'
for
being
so
supportive
and
kind
to
me
over
the
decades.
You
were
so
kindhearted.
Me
and
my
f riend
Sule
Miga
will
not
visit
you
at
home
again
except
in
the
hereafter
when
I
shall
meet
you
and
your
bosom
f riend-
my
late
granny
Eva
Humuri.
May
God
bless
and
rest
your
soul
Kaka.
Amen.
