The Public Relations Officer of NOC, Phemmy Adetula, in a statement in Lagos noted that the NOC President, Habu Gumel, described the demise of the former sports minister as shocking and unbelievable.
Gumel further described Ka’oje as a good man, gentle, resourceful and always willing to offer solutions to all problems while in office and thereafter.
“This is not the time to lose such an industrious son of our nation, but who are we to query God? Ka’oje will be solely missed.
