The Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has commiserated with Professor Joseph Ahaneku, the Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka-Anambra StateĀ and family over the transition of their mother, late lady Elizabeth Adaure Ahaneku, describing her as a great giver to humanity.
According to a press release signed by the Media aide to the Deputy Governor, Uche Onwuchekwa, Governor Okorocha made this remark through his Deputy, Prince Eze Madumere who paid a condolence visit to Prof. Ahaneku at his country home in Ahiara, Ahiazu Maise local government of Imo State.
While eulogizing late lolo Elizabeth Ahaneku for her commitment and strongĀ believer of Christian values, Prince Madumere extolled her for her devotion to ensuring that her children were brought up in the way of The Lord and soundly nurtured to become shining lights to their community and the Nation at large.
