Mrs Adamu-Lau died early Wednesday after a brief illness, according to a statement issued by the head of administration in Abuja, Naomi Agbo.
The statement said, “Hajiya Lami Adamu-Lau was a dedicated leader and champion of women’s empowerment who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
“Her tireless efforts and contributions to the betterment of our society will never be forgotten.”

According to her, Adamu-Lau will be buried according to Islamic rites in her hometown in Lau, Taraba State.
