Former President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday mourned the death of Da Yohanna Dalyop, saying that he had lost a good friend.
“With the demise of Yohanna Dalyop, I have lost a valued friend, whom I have had the honour of knowing for decades. His insight on issues and nuanced understanding of matters, especially energy, had very few parallels.”
He said the late Dalyop had dedicated much of his energy and time to the research and development of alternative energy sources for use in homes and institutions in Nigeria.
While joining family members, friends and professional colleagues, as well as the government and people of Plateau State in mourning the pastor and engineer, Muhammadu Buhari noted that Dalyop had successfully provided solutions to a number of challenges pertaining to energy in the country.
“He was a great statesman and a towering intellectual. His passing away is very saddening,” said the former President.
Signed.
