The leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities has mourned a former Governor of old Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa, it described as a revolutionary that will be missed for his socialist ideal. ASUU President, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, in a statement, on Sunday, in Abuja, said the Union has lost a great ally in the person of Balarabe’s death on Wednesday 11, 2020. He said the late Elder statesman was a committed revolutionary who worked for the socialist transformation of Nigeria, saying Balarabe Musa’s idea of a socialist Nigeria would have been a model for Africa. He said: “The gates of his house were practically wide open to all and sundry for much of the day. He placed himself and his meagre resources at the disposal of whoever came his way for assistance.
