A post on the New Nigerian Newspapers’ Northern States’ Governors Forum (NSGF) Beneficiaryies Whatsapp platform  by Alhaji Idris said,   “We have lost another beneficiary in the person of Yahaya Z Bako of Marketing Department. He died today March 22, 2025.”

12 days ago, another New Nigerian beneficiary, Mr Zakka Bitiyong of  Commercial Printing Department and Radio Room died taking the death toll to 107.  He died on  March 11, 2025.

The entire NNN family has been thrown into mourning as members  cried uncontrollably over the death of Yahaya Bako.

Lamenting on the NNN beneficiaries platform, former SWAN president, Alhaji Saidu Abubakar, said “We, the entire NNN family, are bereaved of a nice gentleman, harmless and always readily available to assist in his own way. Imagine losing such a caring father, brother and colleague without enjoying the fruits of his labour, after waiting all these years in vain. God will surely handle whoever has a hand in the delayed payment of the unpaid salaries, half-month salaries and 3quarters salaries Yahaya laboured for since early 2000s. His surviving colleagues will intensify prayers for God to hold those guilty by their jugulars and soonest too”.

Another member of the platform simply identified as Pastor Abuja said “Oh what a dark weekend. Oh Lord show mercy unto  your servant. Mr. Y. Bako rest in the LORD. May He bless your posterity. My condolences to your wife, children, relations, friends and colleagues.”

Meanwhile the retirees are praying  to save the life of another retiree of New Nigerian Newspaper also waiting for Northern Governors’ payment, he is Ado Umar (Baba Ado)

A passionate appeal message on the platform said “Good Morning Members of this great Forum we are soliciting for prayers, one of our Former colleague Driver and also Beneficiary

in Person of Ado Umar (Baba Ado) Have been operated for Hernia treatment at Yusuf Dantsoho Memorial Hospital Tudun Wada Kaduna”

Last week, the death of one of NNN retirees son in the person of Kunle Sanni of the Editorial department occured. Reports indicated that several others have also lost relations.

Investigation revealed that about 29 other Beneficiaries waiting for this payment from Northern Governors are severely sick and hospitalized.

Northern Governors raked in 7 billion naira after selling New Nigerian Newspaper properties in the name of paying NNN beneficiaries but until now no penny has been paid out of the 2.5 Billion naira owed the retirees
