Plateau State commissioner for Housing and Urban Development in Plateau, Mr Samuel Galadima, is dead.
Galadima slumped and died early Wednesday, March 22 while he was jogging with Governor Simon Lalong.
The Sun reports that the incident happened at the Rwang Pam Stadium, Jos, the capital of Plateau state.
The incident has also been confirmed by the director of press affairs, Mr Emmanuel Nanle.
“Yes, the commissioner slumped while jogging and was rushed to the Plateau Specialist Hospital, where he died,” Nanle said adding that the commissioner was gasping for breath by the time he arrived the hospital.
“Doctors tried to stabilise him but could not. We have lost him,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted him as adding.
The incident occurred a week after Pius Dashe, the Chief Administration Officer, Plateau State Government House, died.
Dashe passed away less than one month after the demise of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Alhaji Yusuf Hawaja, who died on February 19.
