The Nigerian Mission in Cairo, Egypt, announced the passing of the former minister and Senator.
President Buhari said:
“The demise of the notable politician, Aisha Jummai Al-Hassan has left many saddened.
“Both in office and out of office, her concern for the education of the girl child, especially those of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, who were abducted by Boko Haram terrorists, shone through.
“Her death is a huge loss not only to the female gender activist community but to the country as a whole. Our condolences to her family, friends, National Assembly and government and people of Taraba State.”

Kaduna, May 6, 2021 Two organisations, Tax Justice Network and Christian Aid, said they would collaborate to ensure that taxes generated in Kaduna State were used in the service of the people.
The organisations said that the tax for service initiative was to promote progressive tax systems in the state.
Dr Saied Tafida, a member of the Tax Justice Network Steering Committee, made the disclosure at the opening of Kaduna State Tax Perception Survey Validation Meeting, in Kaduna on Thursday.
He explained that the survey was commissioned by the Tax Justice Network, funded by Christian Aid Nigeria, with support from Foreign Commonwealth Development Office.
However, 38 other aspirants were declared unsuitable following their poor performance at the examination.
One of the candidates that were declared unsuitable for the chairmanship position, Mohammed Sani Abdulmajid, popularly known as MS Ustaz described the process as unfortunate.
He said he secured 52.8 per cent yet he was said to be unsuitable while other aspirants from other LGAs with fewer marks were said to be suitable.
“I have already written my letter of complaint to be sent to the appeal committee. I am not happy after performing wonderfully well at the examination yet they said I was unsuitable,” he said.
He said all his qualifications were complete and he was not found wanting during the examinations.
“We shouldn’t pretend that we need foreign support now. Billions of naira has been voted for security services and nothing is coming out of it.
“I’m a party man and I’m supporting APC but it has gotten to a point that as supporters we cannot keep quiet,” he said.
It is not exactly clear why Mrs Tinubu verbally ‘attacked’ Mr Adeyemi or why she made reference to the idiomatic expression, “wolf in sheep’s clothing” as he was not the only APC senator who spoke in that manner during Tuesday’s debate.
But Mr Adeyemi, unlike Mrs Tinubu, was a member of the PDP before he joined the APC.
