President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled the demise of Hajiya A’isha Rufa’i, the Secretary/Director of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Board of the Ministry of Interior (CDCFIB).
The president made his feelings known in a statement by his Spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Monday in Abuja.
The late A’isha received the commendation of the Minister of Interior, Ra’uf Aregbesola, for her “commitment and dedication to duty”.

While expressing his deep sorrow and grief, Buhari recalled the contribution of the deceased to the Federal Civil Service as an organiser and effective administrator in all her previous roles.
He prayed for the repose of her soul and fortitude for her larger family members in Kano to bear the loss.
Also the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola while mourning the late Secretary, said she was a very hardworking woman.
The Minister thereafter cancelled all engagements in his office till further notice
