president-general<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide mourns Irukwu<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has expressed sorrow over the passing of Prof. Joe Irukwu, the organization&#8217;s former president-general, calling it a shock.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released on Sunday in Enugu by Dr. Chiedozie Ogbonnia, National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the Igbo sociocultural group expressed its sorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that Prince Harrison Okorie, the President-General of the Amaokwe Item Welfare Union, announced Irukwu&#8217;s passing on Saturday in Enugu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOhaneze received with rude shock the sad news of the passing of one of our brightest, an accomplished legal luminary, moral edifice, insurance and risk management wizard, erudite scholar of world renown, Igbo leader and former President General of Ohanaeze Prof. Joe Irukwu\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Irukwu was elected the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in 2003 and served meritoriously before bowing out in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ogbonnia, during his tenure, Irukwu added colour, glamour, zest, robust intellect and panache to the Igbo umbrella socio-cultural organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of his works- Nation Building and Ethnic Organization: A Case Study of Ohanaeze in Nigeria, published by Spectrum, is an intellectual Magnus opus that fascinated the scholarly community in 2007 as one of the best sellers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the expiration of his tenure, Irukwu led other Igbo leaders to commission a multi-million naira complex comprising of a 1,500-seater auditorium, library and conference room which he built single-handedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was part of his own legacy to the Igbo man\u2019s quest for equitable recognition and accommodation in the Nigerian polity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Irukwu was called to the English Bar in 1962 and enrolled as a Solicitor and Advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the late Irukwu held so many top positions in both private and public sectors of the Nigerian economy during his active days.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that although Irukwu was given to the service of mankind, he earlier resisted the lure by Dr Michael Okpara, the then Premier of the Eastern Region, to join partisan politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, he chose to pursue his dream of applying his knowledge in law to build an enviable insurance industry in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIrukwu painstakingly achieved his set goals and became a foremost risk management expert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was also a professor of Insurance, educationist, award winning author and holder of many distinguished fellowships and academic awards,\u201d Ogbonnia said.<\/p>\n<p>The publicity secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo also said that Irukwu showed remarkable patriotism as a delegate at the National Political Reform Conference in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Ogbonnia quoted the current President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, as saying that through his death, Ndigbo lost a man with a large heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Joe Irukwu is dead Ohanaeze loses former president-general Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide mourns
