Former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, His Excellency Silas Agara, has congratulated his first daughter, Dr. Miriam Sudar Agara, on her graduation with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and two awards from the University of Debrecen, Budapest.
In a personal tribute released on Saturday, June 27, 2026, Agara described the milestone as a triumph of faith and resilience for the family following the death of his wife, Dr. Jummai Jakonda-Agara, on June 25, 2024.
The former deputy governor said the family was at a crossroad after the loss of his wife, but found strength in God.
“I give God the glory for seeing you through despite the challenges,” Agara said. “When your mother and my lovely wife, Jummai Jakonda-Agara PhD, died on 25th June 2024, we were all at a crossroad but God pulled us through as a family.”
Dr. Miriam not only earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree, but also clinched two awards from the University of Debrecen, Budapest, during the graduation.
“Today you not only earned a Doctor of Pharmacy but got two (2) Awards from University of Debrecen-Budapest,” Agara stated.
The former deputy governor praised his daughter for setting a standard of excellence in the face of grief.
“I am proud of you as a pace setter,” he said.
Dr. Miriam’s achievement adds to the Agara family’s record of academic distinction, coming just two years after the passing of her mother, a renowned academic.
