Reflecting on their friendship, Hon. Muhammad Mago said, “The death of Rabi’u Taura has truly shocked me. I pray to Allah SWT to grant him eternal rest and provide his family with the strength to endure this irreparable loss.”
Prior to his passing, Taura had held various significant positions in the state.
He previously served as the Jigawa State Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and later assumed the roles of Commissioner of Land and Commissioner of Agriculture and Natural Resources during the administration of Sule Lamido.
