Chairman of the Senate Committee on Air Force, Osita Ngwu, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of his colleague, Barinada Mpigi, describing him as a dedicated lawmaker and patriotic Nigerian.

In a condolence message issued on Friday, Senator Ngwu praised the late Mpigi for his unwavering commitment to public service and democratic governance in Nigeria.

According to him, “Senator Mpigi was a committed lawmaker, a patriotic Nigerian, and a man of honour who devoted his time and energy to the service of his constituents and the growth of democratic governance in Nigeria.”

Ngwu noted that Mpigi’s legislative engagements and constituency projects reflected his passion for people-oriented leadership and national development.

“Sen. Mpigi was a bridge-builder and a voice of reason whose counsel and experience enriched our work in the Senate. His passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill,” he stated.
