The Governor described the late Ambassador Baba as a gentleman and a perfect example of a diplomat who ensured that his countries of assignment during his active years in diplomatic service which included the US, Spain and Saudi Arabia, enjoyed the best of diplomatic relations with Nigeria.
According to him, Nigerians and Tarabans in particular, were proud of the late Ambassador’s enviable records of service in the diplomatic circuit and for which he would be surely missed.
He prayed Allah to grant the soul of the late envoy eternal rest.
