Former Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Timbut Useni, passed away on January 23, 2025, at the age of 82 after a prolonged illness.
His death was confirmed by Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who expressed that Useni’s loss is felt deeply across Nigeria, particularly within the armed forces and his home state.
