Azare, who hailed from Gombe State, collapsed and died last Monday at the entrance of Government House in Maiduguri. In addition, the governor also placed the late orderly’s family on monthly feeding allowances. Shettima also inaugurated a committee comprising a representative of the late orderly’s extended family, one of his closest friends, and a security official to manage the funds. The governor also released funds to an aide to settle all the debts the late orderly might have owed anyone. Shettima also directed that the late orderly’s widow be allowed to retain her husband’s accommodation in the Government House till the end of his administration or such a time an alternative arrangement is made for them.
