The Executive Chairman of Jos North Local Government Council, Barr. John K. Christopher, has extended heartfelt condolences to the Gono family following the passing of their patriarch, the late Engr. Benedict Gono, on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, after a protracted illness.
A delegation from the council, led by the Secretary, Pharm. Samuel Ishaya Gyang, visited the family on behalf of the Chairman to convey the council’s sympathy. Pharm. Gyang described the death of the retired civil servant as a great loss, not only to his family but also to the entire council and Plateau State, given his outstanding career and service to humanity.
He urged the family to draw comfort from their Christian faith, assuring them that the late Engr. Gono had gone to rest with the Lord. He further praised the deceased for his positive influence on the lives he touched, noting that his legacy would continue to inspire generations.
The Chairman also prayed for the peaceful repose of his soul and for God’s comfort upon the bereaved family during this difficult period.
Responding on behalf of the family, Mr. Joseph, the deceased’s brother, expressed deep appreciation to the council for standing with them in their moment of grief.
“We are deeply grateful for you sharing in our moment of grief. We are comforted. God bless you all,” he said.
Until his retirement, the late Engr. Benedict Gono served with distinction in the Plateau State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, where he rose to become a Director and later the Acting General Manager of PAMSCO.
He is survived by his wife and ten children, including Mr. Emmanuel Gono, who serves as the orderly to the Executive Chairman of Jos North Local Government Council.
