Gbagi was appointed Minister of State for Education during the tenure of former President Goodluck Jonathan where he contributed immensely to the development of Basic and Secondary Sectors, such as the Almajiri Education Programme.

SGF eulogized the late former Minister as an irreproachable statesman with high moral rectitude, who left over N800 million in the coffers of Delta Development and Property Authority (DDPA) when he held sway as its Chairman; and urged Nigerians to imitate his good virtues to support the anti-graft efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Sen. Akume described the late Gbagi as a quintessential politician, a criminologist extraordinaire and a great industrialist, whose indelible mark in the development of Nigeria’s politics, education, security and economy will outlive him and also serve as a reference point for posterity.

SGF commiserates with the Government and people of Delta State, his immediate family and prays to God to grant the soul of the departed eternal rest.
