Summary: President Tinubu and the Presidential Villa are in mourning following the sudden passing of Peter Onwubuariri, Assistant Director of Media and veteran NAN journalist, who died at the age of 48.
The Aso Rock Villa has been thrown into mourning following the untimely passing of one of its own. Peter Onwubuariri, an Assistant Director of Media at the Presidential Villa, has been called to glory at the age of 48 — a loss that has left colleagues, friends, and the Nigerian media community deeply shaken.
Onwubuariri, a seasoned journalist who built his career with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), passed away on Monday, leaving behind a legacy of dedicated public service and professional excellence.
A Life Devoted to Service
For many Nigerians who understand the demanding nature of media work within government circles, Peter Onwubuariri’s name represents commitment and professionalism. Rising through the ranks at NAN — one of Nigeria’s most respected news organisations — he eventually found himself at the heart of the nation’s power, serving within the walls of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
At just 48, his passing is a stark reminder of how fleeting life can be, even for those who appear to be at the peak of their careers.
Tinubu Mourns a Loyal Aide
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has joined the Nigerian press community in mourning the death of Onwubuariri, whose work behind the scenes helped shape media operations at the highest level of government.
The loss is particularly felt among his colleagues at the Villa, where Onwubuariri was known as a hardworking and dependable figure.
Condolences Pour In
As news of his passing spread, tributes have been flowing from across Nigeria’s media landscape. His colleagues at NAN, fellow journalists, and government officials have all taken a moment to honour a man who gave his best years to serving his country through the power of information.
May his soul rest in perfect peace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.
