The Minister of Education, Malam Ibrahim
Shekarau, has described the death of Sen. Uche
Chukwumerije as a ‘big blow’ to the education
sector.
Chukwumerije, the Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Education, died on Sunday at the age
of 75 after a long battle with lung cancer.
Shekarau’s condolence message, which was
conveyed through his Special Adviser on Media, Dr
Nnamdi Olebara, was made available to the News
Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja.
According to the minister, Chukwumerije’s death is
also a big loss to Nigeria’s democracy.
He described the late senator as a pragmatic and
forthright politician who was highly cerebral and
unrepentantly patriotic with a clear and straight
stance on every issue.
“His contributions to the reforms in the education
sector are tremendous and priceless; he was an
esteemed team player who has left the education
sector better than he met it.
“We in the education sector commiserate with his
family and pray to God Almighty to grant his gentle
soul eternal rest; solace to his family and loved
ones and bless Nigeria with more Uche
Chukwumerijes,”he said.
NAN reports that Chukwumerije was also a former
Minister of Information.
