Isa Dogonyaro, a member of the House of Representatives representing Babura/Garki Federal Constituency, Jigawa State, has died following a brief illness, News About Nigeria reports.
The deceased 46-year-old lawmaker died today (Friday) in Abuja.
His death was disclosed in a condolence message released by the spokesman for the House of Representatives, Akin Rotimi.
According to the statement, the late Dogonyaro, who was a member of the 10th Assembly, was a dedicated and passionate legislator who carried out his assignment to his people and the nation with unwavering commitment.
Before his demise, the lawmaker, who was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), served as the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Control.
The statement partly reads, “It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Hon. Isa Dogonyaro (Kogunan Ringim), the distinguished member representing the Babura/Garki Federal Constituency of Jigawa State in the 10th Assembly of the House of Representatives. Hon. Dogonyaro passed away after a brief illness. He was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
“Hon. Dogonyaro was known for his integrity, diligence, and unwavering dedication to the welfare of the Nigerian people. His presence will be sorely missed in the hallowed chambers of the House of Representatives. Hon. Isa Dogonyaro was a detribalized patriot who was very jovial as much as he was intellectual. He built strong bonds of friendship with honourable members from all parts of the country. He is survived by wives and children.”
The House further sympathised with the family of the deceased, Jigawa State, and the nation at large, praying that God would grant him eternal rest.
