Eunice, mother of the founder of Nigerian newspaper, Leadership, Samuel Nda-Isaiah, is dead.
POLITICS NIGERIA learnt that Eunice died on Friday in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria.
Her exit comes 15 months after the death of her son.
Born in 1942 in the old Kabba province of northern Nigeria, and lived in Kano, Kaduna, and Niger states, Eunice got married in 1961 to Clement Ndanusa-Isaiah, a senior editor in New Nigerian and Triumph newspapers, and “was fondly called ‘Mama Sam’, improvised from the name of her first son and founder of Leadership, Sam Nda-Isaiah”.
“We will miss Mama dearly for her sacrificial love and devotion to her family,” a statement by Leadership Newspaper reads.
“We’re comforted that she was a woman of faith and has gone to be with the Lord, who loves her more.”
Burial arrangements are expected to be announced later.
