<p>Innalillahi Wa Inna Ilaihirrajiun (From Allah we come and unto Him we shall return).</p>
<p>It has been exactly seven days since the passing of our brother, a senior colleague and mentor, Malam Ali Adamu Jauro. Jauro left this world on 19th December, 2025 after battling with diabetes for many years. Despite years of resilience and strength in the face of the illness, fate prevailed, and he succumbed to the cold hands of death.</p>
<p>Known for his dedication and support to those around him, the late Ali Jauro is undoubtedly a dependable ally who stood firmly for the truth, regardless of whose interests were involved. Jovial by nature and fond of jokes, Jauro—as we affectionately called him—was equally known for his generosity.</p><div class="VQLGnKC3" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Our path with Ali Jauro crossed in the year 2011 when I enrolled as a diploma student in Bayero University Kano (BUK), and he was also in our class. Soon after our matriculation, Ali Jauro became popular in the class, courtesy of his open mind and smiling face. You hardly have his time for more than 10 minutes as he moves around from one group to another due to his relationship with people.</p>

<p>Among the lecturers, Ali Jauro is highly respected due to his age and maturity. He would always intervene in issues relating to lecturers and students. Likewise, when misunderstandings arose among students—especially within our group, DMC Trusted Group—Ali Jauro would step in as an elder, restoring peace and understanding. He was respected by all and admired by many.</p>
<p>As his close ally and associate, my relationship with Ali Jauro was extraordinary. We were very close to the extent that my parents knew him personally and often advised us on sustaining our bond. He would always branch in our house before reaching his home whenever he is around. His words are always encouraging and beneficial to me.</p>

<p>Among our group in those days are Malam Mukhtar Wasagu, IBB, Bilya Yaro, Hassan Hussaini, Suraj Kududdufawa, Bashir Fagge, Zainab Nuhu Alfa, Faiza Ardo, Maryam Ajuji Yola, Sale Mai Matanga, Zakariyya, Anas, Abdulkadir and more.</p>
<p>His simplicity is top-notch, as you will hardly point out or remember when he fought someone. He is always ready to say sorry and apologise whenever he does wrong without looking at our age differences. We joke with him like a grandfather.</p>
<p>Through Ali Jauro, I met several important personalities such as Bashir Ahmad, former aide to late President Muhammadu Buhari; Bashir Abdullahi El-Bash, CEO/Publisher of Dokin Karfe TV; Balarabe Yusuf Gajida, Chairman of Muryar Talaka Kano State Chapter; Murtala Dankanawa, Salisu Zayya, and Bashir Gunki, among many others.</p>
<p>Driven by his passion for activism and humanitarian service, Late Ali Jauro introduced me to some civil society groups, including Muryar Talaka, where I served as secretary for some months. I also joined the Dandalin Siyasa group, a platform through which we get connected to many prominent politicians and leaders. I was also part and parcel of Tsagaya, another vibrant youth group.</p>
<p>In the journalism profession, Late Jauro convinced me to actively participate in the BUK FM (a community radio in Bayero University Kano) where I gained practical experience of the broadcast industry. I served in different capacities such as DCA, News Caster, Producer, editor among many other roles. He further motivated me to join Raypower FM, where both of us volunteered in pursuit of becoming professional broadcasters.</p>
<p>He pioneered the publication of a Hausa Magazine, Muryar Talaka, for which I served as an editor. Although we successfully published two editions, we couldn&#8217;t survive due to financial constraints and a lack of connections to secure adverts.</p>
<p>Although I was passionate about becoming a journalist, I wanted to give up many times, but he would always intrude with his words of encouragement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Life is hard, and you must work hard to get where you want to be. The most important thing is taking the right path to actualise your dreams. Don’t give up… Watarana sai labari,&#8221; in his usual words.</p>
<p>Like myself, many people have benefited from his wealth of experience and expertise in living a successful life. He gathered experience in marketing, business and many other fields of endeavour. He was popularly known as Ali Jauro Mai Gidan Wanka for the fact that he once worked and managed a Public Convenience.</p>
<p>Late Ali Jauro battled diabetes for over five years. I vividly remember when the early symptoms of the disease surfaced during our return from Adamawa State in 2016. Ya Allah!</p>
<p>He left behind his wife and children, who will forever miss him as he was a father and a husband who catered for the needs of his family.</p>
<p>May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, and grant him Jannatul Firdaus.<br />
Ameen!</p>
