In a statement jointly signed by the SWAN Kaduna Chairman, Comrade Shehu Abdullahi, and Assistant Secretary, Comrade Austine Agbo Emmanuel, the association described Miss Dickson as a woman of integrity and generosity, whose legacy would continue to inspire many.

The association highlighted her resilience, entrepreneurial excellence, and unwavering commitment to uplifting others, noting that she was more than a sister to Comrade Jacob Dickson before her demise.
SWAN Kaduna reaffirmed its solidarity with Comrade Dickson, acknowledging his invaluable contributions to journalism and the sports community.
“As a dedicated member of the journalism and sports fraternity, Comrade Jacob Dickson has always been a pillar of strength to others. Now, in his moment of grief, we stand firmly by him and pray that God grants him and his family the fortitude to bear this loss,” the statement added.
The association also prayed for the repose of Miss Dickson’s soul, expressing confidence that her legacy of kindness, faith, and service would live on.
Miss Dickson was known for her strong Christian faith and commitment to charity, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of compassion and excellence.
