The former president, according to a statement by Malam Garba Shehu, said the deceased left behind notable contributions to the economy and the labour movement well beyond the borders of the nation.

“Ali Ciroma was indomitable. Full of life, insightful and fearless as a leader. He leaves behind a notable contribution to the labour movement and to my political career as an ardent supporter who stood by me before and during my years in the office of president.
