Abubakar died last Thursday at the age of 67. He is survived by two wives and many children.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Abiodun, Kunle Somorin, on Sunday, the governor described the late Ciroman Sokoto as an astute administrator, erudite academic and religious leader.
Abiodun, who recalled how the late lecturer of the Uthman Danfodio University, Sokoto, performed diligently when he was appointed as a Commissioner in 1996 by a Military Administration, said Sokoto and indeed Nigeria will miss the selfless service Abubakar III was known for while alive.
