his death a Consultant Surgeon, Professor of Medicine, serving Commissioner for
Health, Enugu State and the immediate past Provost of ESUT College of Medicine,
Enugu State”.
The family said the formal announcement and clarification
became imperative following claims on social media that the commissioner died
of coronavirus disease.
Ugochukwu died Friday night at
Memphys Hospital, Enugu.
He has been sick from his days as the Provost College of
Medicine.
The late commissioner, who hailed from Oji River, later
recovered and concluded his work at the College.
Unfortunately, shortly after he was appointed the health
commissioner in 2019, the sickness returned, this time more severe, leading to
his death.
