Our thoughts are with the Shagari family during this period of loss.
The family of former President Shehu Shagari has announced the passing of his last surviving wife, Hajiya Saratu Shehu Shagari, at the age of 89.
In a statement signed by the former president’s eldest son, Captain Mohammed Bala Shagari, the family confirmed that Hajiya Saratu passed away around 3 p.m. on Tuesday after a prolonged illness.
Captain Mohammed described her as “an embodiment of grace, humility, and quiet strength, who lived a life of dignity and service.”
The family noted that details of the funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.
