The Executive secretary of the National Education Research Development Council (NERDC), Prof. Ismail Junaidu, is dead.
He died in the early hours of Thursday in Damaturu, Yobe State.
He was attending the Joint Consultative Committee on Education (JCCE) programme.
It was learnt that the professor slumped and died, but an anonymous NERD official debunked that, saying “he did not slump, death just happened.”
Meanwhile, his remains are being conveyed to Katsina for burial.
