Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has declared Monday a work-free day as part of a three-day period of state mourning. The measure serves as a formal tribute to the late Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who was laid to rest in Yola on Sunday following funeral prayers.
Bamanga Tukur was a notable figure in Nigerian politics, having served as the governor of the defunct Gongola State and as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The state government enacted the mourning period to honor his legacy as an elder statesman.
