Following the death of Aisha Ahmed Lemu, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed deep shock.
Buhari described Aisha as “a repository of knowledge whose depth of scholarship was overwhelming and enviable.”
According to President Buhari, “she admirably dedicated her life to scholarship and moral uplifting of her society, producing massive literature on religious education during her remarkable life on earth.”
The President explained that, “as a Western woman who converted to Islam, Mrs. Lemu had demonstrated that knowledge was not about inheritance, but about curiosity, enthusiasm and dedication to expand our intellectual horizons.”
He recalled that she wrote many books on Islamic education which had impacted positively and greatly on her community and the larger society.
President Buhari added that her immeasurable contributions to learning would not be forgotten for years to come because those contributions would live after her.
While praying to Allah to bless her soul and reward her good deeds abundantly with paradise, President Buhari extended his condolences to Sheikh Ahmed Lemu and his family well as the Niger State government over this great loss.
He prayed to Allah to grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss of a great woman scholar.
