Senator Lalong led some former members of his Cabinet on a condolence visit to the residence of the deceased in Rayfield, Jos, to commiserate with them over the loss.

Lalong described the late Prof. Sonni Gwanle Tyoden as a trusted political ally, confidant, teacher and mentor who served with him diligently as Deputy Governor of Plateau State during the tenure of the APC Rescue Administration.

He recalled that Prof. Tyoden brought significant stability, wisdom, and experience to the government and worked tirelessly to ensure its success during his eight-year tenure.

Lalong said Prof. Tyoden left indelible footprints in the sands of time, having served the nation in various positions, including as the Vice Chancellor of the University of Jos, where he turned around the institution’s fortunes.

He said that as an academic, Prof. Tyoden distinguished himself in teaching and research and mentored many students who have reached the heights of their careers in various fields.

Lalong prayed God to grant his soul eternal rest and comfort the family, particularly his wife, Mrs. Abigail Tyoden and children.

Responding on behalf of the family, Mr. Gyenu Tyoden thanked the former Governor, Senator Simon Bako Lalong, and his entourage for their words of comfort and condolence.

He appreciated their partnership and collaboration within and outside the office and said the family is grateful for the deceased’s role in serving the State and nation at large.

According to him, the family will devise burial arrangements, which will be made available to the public in the coming days.
