I regret to inform the YES Nigeria family about the death of one our dear members, Hannatu Yunusa, after a brief illness on the 11th of December 2008.

Hannatu was a friend who believed that young people could change this nation for the better and worked tirelessly in many youth development activities including the areas of good governance, HIV/AIDS, employment and policy advocacy.

I called her sister today and it was almost like speaking to Hannatu. Mamam like her late sister sounded poised and gentle. Exuding empathy in a calm manner told me she knew we would miss Hannatu and asked me to take heart. Instead of comforting the family she was comforting me. For anyone who knew Hannatu this is the exact thing she would have done.

Hannatu was straightforward, wise, humble, with a can do spirit and a mischevious sense of humour.
May her family take heart and know we share thier grief but also celebrate having had the opportunity to know her.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.
