PRESSS RELEASE: The Demise Of Former Minister Of Women Affairs And Social Development, Senator Aisha Jummai AL-Hassan



       Late Sen. Al-Hassan

At this crucial time in our Nation's history, when Nigerian women are agitating for more women representation, we were hit with sad news of the demise of a great Nigerian woman political icon, "Mama Taraba.’

2. Nigerian Women join the family, friends, well wishers, members of the National Assembly,  the Government and People of Taraba State to mourn a great woman, an icon of Hope, an Amazon of Nigerian women's political voice, a lover of the downtrodden, a trail blazer, a former Senator and Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Aisha Jummai Al-Hassan.

3. Her death at this time is indeed a colossal, irreplaceable and irreparable loss, which leaves a big vacuum in the journey for women’s political representation in Nigeria. 
 
4. Nigeria has truly lost one of its finest crusader of  girl-child education, gender advocate, philanthropist, Legal Luminary and women activist.  

5. The Management and Staff  of the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs, Development Partners and indeed all Nigerians will not forget in a hurry her role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of the released students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, who were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents. 
As we continue to mourn this phenomenal woman, I want to inform all well meaning Nigerian women and other stakeholders that a Condolence Register will be opened in her honour from Monday,  10th May, 2021 at the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs Building, opposite Court of Appeal Headquarters, Central Business District, Abuja, from 10:00 a.m.

6 May her gentle soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Signed:

Dame Pauline K. Tallen, OFR, KSG, Honourable Minster of Women Affairs
