Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Alhaji Musa Dumburi, a former Yobe State Commissioner for Agriculture and one-time Commissioner for Environment, is dead.<\/p>\n

He died at the age of 70.<\/p>\n

Senator Musa Mustapha, representing Yobe East, confirmed Dumburi\u2019s death on Saturday through a statement on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe news of the sudden death of the former Commissioner of Agriculture and one-time Commissioner of Environment, Alh. Musa Maina Dumburi, greatly saddens my heart,\u201d the senator said.<\/p>\n

Mustapha described Dumburi as \u201cA brilliant agriculturist, hardworking, dependable and highly resourceful technocrat,\u201d emphasizing his lifelong dedication to the development of Yobe State, particularly in agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven at the age of 70, late Alh.

The senator extended condolences to Dumburi\u2019s family, friends, political associates, and the people of Yobe State, while praying for Allah\u2019s mercy upon his soul.<\/p>\n

Born on 26 April 1956 in Dumburi town, Yobe State, Dumburi demonstrated leadership and talent from a young age.<\/p>\n

He attended Masaba Primary School, Bursari Local Government (1963\u20131970), then proceeded to the renowned Barewa College, Zaria (1971\u20131975).<\/p>\n

Musa Maina Dumburi began his political career in 2003 when former Governor Bukar Abba Ibrahim appointed him as Special Assistant on Rural Development.<\/p>\n
