Fatima’s untimely passing has touched many, and tributes have poured in from friends, family, and colleagues, all honoring her memory. The NNPCL community stands in solidarity with Kyari during this challenging time, offering support and condolences.

As we remember Fatima, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing our loved ones and the memories we create together. Mele Kyari’s message serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the enduring love that remains even in the face of loss.

‘’My daughter Fatima departed at her appointed time and looking forward to meeting her in Jannah by Allah’s grace. While the loss is great by all measures, we remain grateful to God for all his mercies. I didn’t know the depth of her connections with many people and what she meant to many. 

Despite her physical challenges, she is able touch hearts in very soothing ways, including me. Above all, her demise brought many people together and demonstrated that we all can care for others irrespective of our social circumstances. I profoundly thank our leaders, family members, friends, associates, colleagues, our teachers and the countless unmentioned that joined us to pray for the repose of her soul and for consoling us.” he wrote
