Nigeria’s number one man, President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with family, friends and associates of Jubril Martins-Kuye, the late former Minister of Commerce and Industry.

The legislator in the Third Republic passed away on Sunday.

Buhari, in a statement by spokesman, Femi Adesina, condoled with the Ago Iwoye community, government and people of Ogun State.

The President said Martins-Kuye brought his many years banking experience to bear when he served in government.

He believes the deceased will be sorely missed for his insight on issues of development, particularly in tailoring budgets that reflect the needs of the people.

The President prayed that the departed soul rests in peace.
