Nigeria is in mourning following the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died at the age of 82. A towering figure in the nation’s political and military history, Buhari served as Nigeria’s Head of State from 1983 to 1985 and later as a democratically elected president from 2015 to 2023.
In response to the news, members of the Housing Development Advocacy Network (HDAN) have expressed deep sorrow, paying glowing tributes to his leadership and contributions to national development.
Speaking on behalf of HDAN, the Executive Director, Festus Adebayo, described Buhari’s death as “a great loss to Nigeria and to all who believed in integrity, discipline, and public service.” He noted that the late president’s administration laid a strong foundation for housing reforms and infrastructure development, including the establishment of institutions aimed at addressing the nation’s housing deficit.
“History will remember Muhammadu Buhari as a man who devoted his life to serving Nigeria, both in uniform and in civilian attire,” Adebayo said.
HDAN members across the country describe him as one of the greatest Nigerians that ever lived, acknowledging his enduring legacy and impact on national development.
As the nation grieves, tributes continue to pour in from across political, social, and economic spheres, affirming Buhari’s place in the story of Nigeria as a patriot who gave his all.
