A thanksgiving service was held on Sunday in Aya community, Kaltungo Local Government Area of Gombe State, in honour of retired Permanent Secretary, Mr Mohammed Dantata Ndus.
The service followed his retirement from the Gombe State Civil Service after 35 years of service. The event brought together family members, friends, colleagues, traditional rulers, community leaders and politicians from different political parties.
The thanksgiving service took place at ECWA Church, Aya. In his sermon, the Presiding Pastor, Reverend Kaniel Zakka, described Mr Ndus as a dedicated public servant and a good representative of the church, Aya community and Kaltungo Chiefdom.
After the church service, a reception was held at Kale Primary School. Dignitaries from within and outside Kaltungo Local Government Area attended the event.
