The Health Workers Union has been thrown into mourning, as it announced the demise of Dr. Silas Adamu, the Secretary General of the union.
Adamu died in a ghastly motor accident on the Abuja – Kaduna road Monday, the 8th of March, 2021.
The accident, according to a statement issued by Medical and Health Worker Union of Nigeria
also claimed the lives of his wife, Mercy Adamu and daughter Miss Kubai Joy Adamu.
The statement which was signed by Mr. Jack Lampang for the Union president reads in part, “the union has indeed lost an illustrious son, a patriot, nationalist and detribalised figure whose friendship and association cut across ethnic and religious lines. He remained passionate about the unity and development of the union until he died. He always advocated for education and investment in human capital as fundamentals for our advancement into a peaceful and prosperous union.
“Comrade Silas has gone but lives he touched positively will remain worthy ambassadors for the virtues he stood for in his admirable life time. His legacies of absolute loyalty to his principals and humble disposition towards his staff and associates will surely continue to contribute to the betterment of humanity as a whole.
“The union shall surely miss him.
” May his gentle soul and the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.”
