Abdul-Wahab Mirjan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdul-Wahab Mirjan (1909–1964) (Arabic: عبد الوهاب مرجان) served as prime minister of Iraq for three months, (December 15, 1957 – March 3, 1958) at the time of that country's short-lived union with Jordan, which was formalized on February 14, 1958. A relative newcomer to the Iraqi government, Mirjan first joined the cabinet in 1947, and was lacking the passion of overseeing the unification of the two states. He therefore resigned, less than a month after the federation was declared, in favor of the more established political figure, Nuri as-Said. He survived the republican coup and died in 1964. But, he was known, along with his father Abdul-Razzak Mirjan as being compassionate to their coutry, as they donate a number of valuable assets; such as Mirjan Hospital in the Hilla province; and a growing number of houses for the poor people of Iraq.
