The Chairman of the National Population Commission, Dr Aminu Wushishi, has died after a brief illness.
Wushishi reportedly died on Friday, August 28, 2026, with news of his death reaching Minna, the Niger State capital, around the time of the Juma’at prayer.
His death has reportedly thrown his associates, political allies and members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state into mourning.
Wushishi, a former Secretary of the Niger State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, was said to have taken ill shortly before his death.
Confirming the development, his Special Adviser on Media, Stanley Nwosu, told Vanguard that the NPC chairman had died.
“Yes, it is true. The NPC chairman died after a brief illness,” Nwosu said.
Wushishi was appointed Chairman of the National Population Commission, where he headed the federal agency responsible for population-related data and census matters.
