Professor Chukwuma Soludo has paid his last respects to the late Chief (Sir) Uchenna Michael Ukeji who passed away at the age of 58.
Angel Network News reports that Governor Soludo while delivering his condolence message on behalf of the government during a solemn burial mass held at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Oraukwu Idemili North LGA, commended the Catholic Church for their role in advocating for the Anambra Burial Law, enacted in 2019.
“We must prioritize the well-being of the living. The law aims to promote responsible spending on burials, alleviating pressure on poor and less privileged families during difficult times. My own father’s burial last month reflected this principle.” Soludo emphasized.
Earlier, in his homily, Rev. Fr. Daniel Onuorah, who described Chief Ukeji as a kind and devoted member of the church, dedicated to its growth and prosperity.
