The Gwandu family is grieving the loss of their beloved matriarch, Hajiya Aisha Gwandu, who passed away after a brief illness on Tuesday afternoon in Kebbi State. Hajiya Gwandu, mother to prominent figures including Dr. Bashir Gwandu, former Executive Vice Chairman of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), departed this world at a hospital in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State capital.
Dr. Bashir Gwandu, when contacted, confirmed the sad news of his mother’s passing, expressing his prayers and hopes for her peaceful journey in the afterlife. “I have just received the news of the passing of my mother and I pray that Allah would forgive her and grant her Al-Jannah Firdauss,” he said.
Among Hajiya Gwandu’s children are notable personalities such as Engr. Umar Gwandu, Technical Adviser to the Minister of Petroleum, and Dr. Jibril Gwandu, the Project Manager at Kebbi Health Project. She leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion, survived by numerous children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
The Gwandu family will hold a prayer (Janaiza) for their late matriarch this morning at 10:00 am at the Emir’s palace in Birnin Kebbi, followed by interment at the cemetery.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Gwandu family during this difficult time. May Allah SWT grant Hajiya Aisha Gwandu Jannatul Firdausi and provide comfort and strength to her loved ones. Ameen.
