Ikpeazu Deeply Saddened By The Death Of Engr. Chidi Izuwah


The Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has expressed deep and very profound sadness at the news of the death of the Director General of the Infrastructure Concession and Regulatory Commission in the Presidency, Engr. Chidi Izuwah.



Describing the death of Engr Izuwah as a major loss for the people of Abia State, Governor Ikpeazu recalled the fundamental interventions made by the Late Engr Izuwah brought to bear in favor of the State in his official capacity as Head of one of the most important parastatals of the Federal Government.


"The recent decision of the Nigerian Correctional Services to set up a Shoe Factory at the Aba Medium Security Correctional Facility was the culmination of several months of hardwork by Engr Izuwah and his team at the Commission to complement the efforts of my administration in that regard. He was a most dependable partner of my administration in several other ways". 


"Chidi was a first class professional whose professional skills were honed at Shell Petroleum for several years before his sojourn in public service where he displayed deep knowledge and uncommon patriotism in the discharge of his responsibilities as Director General of the Infrastructure Regulation and Concession Commission at the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was a committed and passionate Nigerian but he was a more committed and passionate Abian who took lots of interest in affairs at home. He was always willing to lend a hand whenever issues at home came up".


"In that regard", Governor Ikpeazu continued, "Chidi took after his late father, the revered former Permanent Secretary in the old Imo State and Traditional Ruler of Amaitolu Community, Late Eze Sir A E N Izuwah". 


The Governor recalled that he was constantly in touch with him while he was on his sick bed and ensured that he got every necessary support, and looked forward to his full recovery. The news of his death came as "a rude shock".


"At 56 years, Chidi was in his prime and at the very top of a brilliant and illustrious career. His death has robbed us of a major voice in key economic affairs at the national level. Clearly, we have lost one of the finest amongst us", the Governor added. 


The Governor sends his personal condolences and those of the entire people and Government of Abia State to the Izuwah Family of Amaede village, Amaitolu Community , the people of the Ovungwu Ancient Kingdom, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, the Infrastructure Regulatory and Concession Commission, friends and associates of the Late Engr. Izuwah, and prays the Almighty God to grant his soul eternal rest.
