President Tinubu said the late Mrs. Nnaji lived an exemplary and fulfilled life, raising four sons through hard work and strong values that enabled them to become responsible citizens and contributors to society.
He noted that Mama Nnaji’s dedication to family and her enduring legacy would continue to inspire those who knew her.
