NCAN LOSES FIRST VICE PRESIDENT, MALLAM SHAIBU AGBEJI
The National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN) has been thrown into mourning following the death of its First Vice President, Mallam Shaibu Agbeji, fondly known across the cashew industry as "Shaibu Chairman."
The late Mallam Agbeji was a respected leader, seasoned cashew merchant, and a committed advocate for the growth and development of Nigeria's cashew value chain. Throughout his years of service, he worked tirelessly alongside the leadership of NCAN to strengthen the association, promote the interests of cashew farmers and exporters, and advance Nigeria's position in the global cashew industry.
His dedication, humility, and willingness to serve earned him the admiration of colleagues, stakeholders, and members of the association across the country. His passing leaves a significant void in NCAN and the wider agricultural community.
On behalf of the entire cashew industry, the President, National Executive Council, State Chapters, and members of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria extend their heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, business associates, and all who were touched by his life and service.
May Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercy, forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and give his family and loved ones the strength and patience to bear this great loss.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
Mallam Shaibu Agbeji (Shaibu Chairman) will be remembered for his invaluable contributions to the Nigerian cashew industry and for a legacy of service that will continue to inspire generations.
