“Arriving the residence of the Ogunji family, Prof Ibe regretted that the task of decontaminating public places in Abia state which the late Dr Solomon Ogunji, as commissioner for environment, passionately handled with a team from Gregory University Uturu seemed to be his last undertaking before death came calling.
“While recounting the plethora of strategic roles played by the late commissioner, especially in the act of governance in particular and the affairs of Ohanaeze Ndigbo by extension, the Chancellor lamented the unfortunate tragedy and prayed God to console the immediate family, the state and the Igbo nation. He pledged comprehensive assistance to the burial arrangements and promptly announced the offer of tuition-free scholarship to the late commissioner’s third son to enable him study in Gregory University Uturu” the statement read.
