We met at Federal Government College Wukari,Taraba State in the year 1978. She was both a mother and colleague. Through proper understanding, we worked under the husband, our daddy, S N Abia, the principal.
It was like a family.
Agnes was more than a mother to us, she nurtured, advised us so much, particularly the bachelors among us, and the students. An ideal principal's wife who takes care of all. A highly disciplined principal's wife under whom all were compliant. Hmm!, it was indeed a family under Agnes.She was kind, considerate, compassionate and open minded. All through our time together, we were very close and achieved successes. The children were very positively impacted, they were highly disciplined and successful in life. The husband S N Abia is considered a huge success in his career and this is because of the positive influence of Agnes in the family. I have no doubt the Lord will reward her as sumptously and abundantly as she was good to us while we were together.
Her soul will surely continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord , Amen.
I personally give glory to God for her simple and kind life that benefited us all so much and may God indeed be honoured.
