Retired Lt Gen. Jeremiah Useni, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has reportedly passed away.
According to Channels TV, he passed away on Thursday at the age of 82 after a protracted illness.
Gyang Bere, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to Plateau State governor, Caleb Mutfwang, announced the former minister’s death in a statement issued in Jos, the Plateau capital.
He described the former Minister and Quarter Master General of the Nigerian Army as a tremendous loss not only to his immediate family but also to the Nigerian Armed Forces, Plateau State, and the entire nation.
Highlighting the roles played by the late army general, Governor Mutfwang noted that he left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s security and political landscape with his tireless efforts to promote peace and security, especially in Northern Nigeria and Plateau State.
The governor prayed that god grants the family, plateau state, and the nation the strength and fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss, and also asked for God’s divine presence to comfort and provide solace in the days ahead.
