Tanko Ashang, a former attorney general and commissioner for justice in Cross River State, has passed away.

Mr. Ashang, who served under Governor Ben Ayade’s administration, died Tuesday morning at his residence in Abuja.

He briefly held the position of works commissioner in Cross River from March to May 2015 before moving to the Ministry of Justice, where he served as attorney general and commissioner from November 27, 2019, to May 29, 2023.

Elevated to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria on September 29, 2022, Ashang also contested in the 2024 governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River.

He had a distinguished career in the federal civil service, including serving as legal adviser to the National Emergency Management Agency. Ashang hailed from Busi in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State.

“Your sudden departure has left an unfillable void in the lives of those who knew and loved you. Your family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Obanliku LGA mourn the loss of a brilliant mind, a compassionate soul, and a steadfast advocate for justice,” a Facebook user, Ubafe Roland Ayanutelhe, wrote in a tribute to the late lawyer.

“Your legacy will forever be etched in our hearts. Your tireless dedication to the legal profession, your commitment to the pursuit of justice, and your unrelenting passion for the betterment of society inspired countless individuals.
