Senator Godiya Akwashiki (Nasarawa, SDP) has died following a protracted illness.
He was 52 years old.
A family member said the Senator died in an Indian hospital on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025.
He said his death was a big blow and had left a big vacuum given his commitment to development of the Senatorial Zone and empowerment programmes.
“In the history of Nasarawa North, Sen. Akwashiki was the best Senator Nasarawa North ever produced due to his purposeful leadership.
“His projects are in every nook and cranny of the constituency as he was the only Senator that re-contested and won second term in the zone,” he said
Before his election into the Nigerian Senate in 2019, Akwashiki had served as Majority Leader and Deputy Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly.
Akwashiki was born on Aug.3, 1973, in Angba Iggah, Nassarawa Eggon, Nasarawa State,
