A renowned academic, Professor Ladi Sandra Adamu, of the Department of Mass Communication at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, has passed away at the age of 67.
Her death was announced on Wednesday by Associate Professor Muhammad Hashim Suleiman, a colleague in the same department, via a post on his official Facebook page.
Reports indicated that Prof. Adamu, who made history as the first female professor of broadcasting in Northern Nigeria, succumbed to a prolonged battle with breast cancer.
Her demise has plunged the ABU community, especially the Mass Communication Department, her former students, and alumni, into deep sorrow.
Born on January 17, 1958, the late Professor Ladi Adamu hailed from Plateau State, Nigeria.
