Governor Caleb Mutfwang has commiserated with the News Agency of Nigeria over the death of its photojournalist, Sunday Adah.

Mr Mutfwang, in a condolence message on Monday, described Mr Adah as a consummate professional.

The deceased, who died on Tuesday after a brief illness, had served in the agency’s Jos zonal office for 15 years until his death and was set to retire by September 2026.

While commiserating with NAN and the deceased’s family, the governor also described Mr Adah as a professional who took his job seriously.

“Adah was a highly dedicated media professional whose work played a vital role in informing the public and strengthening democratic governance through responsible and ethical journalism. He carries out his duty with exceptional diligence, courage, and professionalism in his assignment with NAN.
