The Enugu State Governor, His Excellency, Dr Peter Ndubisi Mbah will attend the burial of late Ezinne Lucy Onuzulike Okolie, mother of ESUT Vice-Chancellor, Prof Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, today in Awgu Town, Awgu Local Government Area, Enugu State.

Also, Senators, Commissioners as well as Vice-Chancellors of some universities in Nigeria will also honour the burial of the octogenarian.

“Our VC is a popular person so we are expecting the big shots we have in our society. We are expecting the governor of Enugu State, we are expecting the Deputy governor, commissioners, senators and more people in Enugu state even those who have had interaction with the VC, his former student, colleagues at UNN and at Uniport would also be there,” Professor Chike Nwoha, Burial Committee Chairman, told our correspondent.

“Even at the meeting we had on Tuesday in Abuja, I saw so many of his friends (Vice-Chancellors) who were asking whether the burial would still hold on Thursday 16th. So it shows that many of them would be there and the expectation is high,” he concluded.
