Family sources said he had been on admission in Egypt for over a month. His younger brother, Saminu Garba, said the family was making arrangements for the return of his corpse to Nigeria for burial.
Born on June 21, 1957, the Late Garba was the chairman of Media Trust Limited’s board committee on editorial and production until late last year when he moved to the contact and business committee.
Garba had, three years ago at the 20th anniversary of Media Trust Ltd, narrated how the
Daily Trust, then Weekly Trust, started in a small building which he described as his house “boys quarters”.
