The inevitability of death reminds us to live modestly and cherish the memories of those who have impacted our lives. Today, we gather to honor the legacy of Dr. Habib Sadauki, an exceptional mentor, medical director, CEO, and senior consultant.
Dr. Sadauki’s life embodied simplicity, patience, dedication, and collaboration. His commitment to the common good inspired countless individuals, from clinical practice to public life. I had the privilege of working alongside him during our call duties at the Hospital Management Board, where he demonstrated remarkable dedication and responsiveness.
As Executive Secretary, Dr. Sadauki displayed exceptional tolerance and maturity, even in the face of adversity. His leadership facilitated joint efforts and achievements between the board and unions. He championed on-the-job training and sponsored staff for specialized courses locally and internationally.
Dr. Sadauki’s contributions to the MPDRS policy and development were invaluable, drawing from his personal experience. His punctuality, resourcefulness, and tirelessness in attending review meetings were hallmarks of his commitment.
A devout and prayerful individual, Dr. Sadauki’s warm smile and genuine spirit comforted all who encountered him. A 1978 graduate of ABU Zaria, he had an illustrious career as a specialist medical consultant and administrator, alongside notable contemporaries like Dr. Dutse and Dr. Bashir Birnin Kudu.
As I pen this tribute, I pray that Allah grants Dr. Sadauki peace and mercy in the highest level of paradise. May His blessings be upon his children, and may His comfort envelop his family and friends, particularly Hajiya Maryam.
Rest in peace, Dr. Habib Sadauki. Allah ya gafarta masa.
