AHMAN PATEGI UNIVERSITY VC CONDOLENCE MESSAGE OVER THE DEMISE OF THE VERSITY FOUNDER

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Governing Council, the Management, Staff and Students of Ahman Pategi University, with deep sorrow, I extend my heartfelt condolences on the passing of our beloved founder and proprietor, Hon.

May this unforgettable loss be eased by the comfort and support of loved ones, and may Almighty God grant you, his family, close associates, and well-wishers the strength to navigate this difficult time

The late Hon. Ahman Pategi was not only a distinguished three-term member of the House of Representatives but also a visionary leader who understood that education is the bedrock of societal development. His most enduring legacy perhaps lies in his profound commitment to education, exemplified through the establishment of Ahman Pategi University. As our founder, he demonstrated an unwavering dedication to nurturing future leaders and scholars, believing firmly in the transformative power of quality education.

In the House of Representatives, his impactful contributions through the Water Resources and Appropriation committees showcased his dedication to national development. Yet, it was his passionate investment in education that truly set him apart. Through Ahman Pategi University, he created a beacon of learning that will continue to illuminate the path for generations to come.

The university community has lost not just a founder but a visionary whose foresight and commitment to educational excellence have fundamentally shaped our institution's character and aspirations. His vision for quality education in Nigeria will forever remain an inspiration to us all.

In this moment of immense loss, we pray that Almighty Allah grants our beloved founder the highest place in Aljanat Firdaus. May his family find solace in the knowledge that his legacy lives on through every student who passes through the gates of this institution he so lovingly established.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
