The House of Representatives candidate for Ebonyi/Ohaukwu federal constituency of Ebonyi, Chief Ndubisi Chibueze-Agbo, has given scholarships to children of late Ikechukwu Udoka, who was killed by gunmen in the area.
Until his death, the late Udoka was a part of the state government-instituted Ebubeagu security unit.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Chibueze-Agbo, presented the scholarship to the family of the late Udoka, on Tuesday during a visit to their residence.
The Former state education commissioner also sent his condolences to the deceased’s wife, his five children (three boys and two girls), his elderly mother, and the entire family.
“I will enroll the children of the deceased in schools and I call on the the state government to assist the family by providing a reasonable job for his wife to enable her take care of the children and his aged mother.
“I also urge the government to provide shelter for the family as the deceased could not complete the building he was constructing and which was destroyed by rain,” he said.
He characterized the late Ikechukwu Udoka as a public-spirited person who died while serving the community and protecting their lives and property.
“The government should take adequate care of the families of individuals who lost their lives serving the state.
“This is to prevent apathy in the delivery of essential and selfless service to the state,” he said.
