Special Adviser to Gov. Darius Ishaku on Media and Publicity, Bala Dan-Abu, who announced the demise of the commissioner in a statement on Friday, quoted the governor as lamenting Kefas less than a year of his appointment as a member of the State Executive Council.
“The death of Kefas has robbed the state of the services of a patriotic and hard-working gentleman.
“The late Kefas was a very gentle and compassionate man, the reason why he was posted to the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation to help implement government’s pragmatic programme of giving hope and succour to the poor and the needy,” the governor said.
He prayed God to give the people of Wukari and members of the immediate family of the late commissioner the fortitude to bear the loss.
