The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D, was saddened by the death of a former member of the Senate, Ayogu Eze, who died on Thursday at the age of 66.
The Speaker described Eze as a fine gentleman who served his country with zeal and commitment, especially during his time in the Senate.
Speaker Abbas prayed for the repose of the soul of the late ex-lawmaker. He equally extended his condolences to the Eze’s family, the people and the government of Enugu State.
Eze represented Enugu North Senatorial District at the 6th and 7th Senate, between 2007 and 2015.
During the period, he chaired the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs (6th Senate) and the Committee on Works (7th Senate).
In May 2023, the Senate confirmed Eze as a Federal Commissioner of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission of Nigeria.
