Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Rajiun.
I join family, friends, the people of Adamawa state and the Nation at large to mourn the demise of our father, one of the former super Permanent Secretaries of the 1970s, Alh. Ahmed Joda.
Baba Joda had lived an exemplary selfless life of service to Adamawa state and the country at large. The loss of this rare gem has without doubt created a huge void which will be immensely felt.
May Allah in his infinite mercy forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannaatul Firdaus, Ameen.
