The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has condoled with the family, friends of Sam Nda -Isaiah and the Nigerian newspaper industry over the death of the Publisher of Leadership Newspaper.
Lawan in a statement issued in Abuja Saturday, also commiserated with the Newspaper Proprietors’Association of Nigeria (NPAN), and the government and people of Niger dtate over the loss.
He described as shocking the death of the pharmacist-turned newspaper columnist, publisher and politician at the young age of 58 years.
“Sam Nda-Isaiah fervently believed in the Nigerian project and this is reflected in his writings and the editorial focus and tone of his Leadership Newspaper.
“His contributions as a public opinion shaper and principled politician are profound and have put his imprints on the Nigerian history despite his early home call,” Lawan said.
The Senate President prayed for sweet repose of his soul and for comfort for his loved ones.
