Nigeria has lost one of its notable political figures as Senator Solomon Ewuga, a former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State and former Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), passed away on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
Ewuga, who also served as a federal lawmaker, was a respected statesman known for his contributions to governance and public service. He previously held the position of Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State under former Governor Abdullahi Adamu and later served as Minister of State for the FCT, where he played key roles in the administration of the nation’s capital.
A seasoned politician, Ewuga formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in December 2023 after leaving the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), further cementing his influence within Nigeria’s political landscape.
Details surrounding his death were not immediately disclosed, but tributes have begun to pour in from political associates, colleagues, and admirers, who described him as a man of vision, commitment, and integrity whose impact on Nasarawa State and the nation will not be forgotten.
