As zonal coordinator with office in Maiduguri she managed the affairs of the agency in the zone which comprises of six states of Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba.

Director General of NEMA retired Air Vice Marshal Mohammed Audu-Bida expressed shock over the sad news and said she will be greatly missed for her honesty, hardwork, and dedication to duty. He prayed God to grant her eternal rest.

She is survived by her husband, aged parents, brothers and sisters.
