President Bola Tinubu on Sunday condoled with the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama and members of the Kaigama family of Taraba State on the passing of their brother and father, Fidelis Kaigama.
Kaigama, 84, died on June 6, 2025.
“The late Fidelis Kaigama was a steward of purpose, a voice for good governance,” Tinubu said in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement is titled ‘President Tinubu mourns seasoned administrator, Fidelis Kaigama.’
President Tinubu described the late Kaigama as a distinguished public servant, educationist, and administrator who lived a life of integrity and unwavering dedication to his community, the nation, and humanity.
He described the administrator as “a beacon of fairness in administration.”
“Throughout his career, he embodied the highest ideals of service, competence, humility, and vision.
“He approached every task with tireless devotion and clarity of purpose,” said Tinubu.
The President noted that as a public servant and administrator, Kaigama rose to the highest office, becoming a Federal Permanent Secretary.
“He mentored many, shaping minds with wisdom, guiding hearts with compassion, discipline, and inspiration in his workplace.
“Generations of public officers and private individuals who flourished under his influence regard him as a hero,” President Tinubu said.
The President also commiserated with the Taraba State Government on the loss of this illustrious son, whose words of wisdom and encouragement will be sorely missed.
He prayed for the peaceful repose of Fidelis Kaigama’s soul and comfort for those who mourn him.
