Aviation minister Sirika loses chief of staff
In February 2021, Sirika lost his chief of staff Ibrahim Idris.
In a short tribute, Sirika described Idris as a “honest, trustworthy, simple, warm godly” man.
“You lived to define how best to relate with people and serve Allah without show. May Allah the Merciful grant you Firdaus and grant us same when we come,” the former minister wrote on X.
