Yar’Adua’s Education Minister, Igwe Aja-Nwachukwu dies in Israel…


A former Minister of Education, Dr. Igwe Aja-Nwachukwu, has died in an Israeli hospital from an undisclosed ailment.

The deceased, who served as Minister under the administration of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, was 63 years old.

The former minister’s younger brother, Festus Aja-Nwachukwu, who confirmed the death while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja, said he died on Nov. 17th 2015.

He said the deceased was in the hospital for about 4 weeks receiving treatment, adding that his death certificate would reveal the exact cause of death.

Aja Nwachukwu who was also the immediate past Pro-Chancellor of the Ebonyi State University, had earlier this year declared his intention to contest for the Ebonyi governorship seat in 2015, a race he later withdrew from

Aja-Nwachuku, a native of Okposi in Ebonyi, was born in 1952 and appointed minister of education in 2007.


His father was Nigeria’s first minister of education.

He graduated from the University of Ibadan with a Bachelor’s Degree in statistics.

He also had an MBA in Finance, MSc in Statistics and Ph.D in Economics.

This is a very big loss to the good people of Ebonyi State.

Let's pray for the family and the nation at large.

Okposi – the largest community in Ohaozara LGA of Ebonyi State has recorded many firsts in the Education Sector.

In the First Republic, Okposi  produced the First Minister of Education of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Late Onyiba Aja Nwachukwu.

Three decades later, Okposi also produced the first female Commissioner for Education in Abia State, Mrs Beatrice Aja-Nwachukwu.

And in 2007, Okposi also produced the First Minister of Education to come from Ebonyi State  – Dr Igwe Aja-Nwachukwu.

More so, Okposi produced the First Professor in Ebonyi State – Late Prof. Aja Okorie. Okposi hosts one of the first three unity schools in Nigeria – the Federal Government College, Okposi (the other two were FGC Warri and FGC Sokoto). Recently, an Okposi son, Dr Laz Ude Eze became the first Ebonyian to make First Class (and the best result) in a Master of Public Health (MPH) Program in the United States. He was also the first International Student to become the President of the University of Kentucky Student Public Health Association in the United States.

In this 21st century, below are the photos of classroom blocks in public secondary schools (especially State-owned schools) in Okposi. How many world-class scholars can Okposi produce with these infrastructure?



This is history as it has never been a reoccurrence in Nigeria where father and son occupied the same office at different times.

The young Aja-Nwachuku should be in his teens when his father was Education minister without knowing that he, himself will one day occupy same position.
