The Senator elect for Anambra Central senatorial zone, Mrs. Uche
Ekwunife has expressed rude shock over the death of the Secretary of
the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, Anambra Council, Ifeoma
Anumba.
Ekwunife in a statement issued by her Media Assistant, Uzor Emmanuel
described the death of the young lady as very devastating especially
in her prime when the country and entire humanity need her services
most.
She described the late NUJ Scribe as a very diligent and hardworking
young lady that served with joy and always smiling and prayed God to
grant her eternal rest.
The statement read “it is with deep sense of sorrow and bewilderment
that I commiserate with the family of Anumba of Nawfia community and
the entire members of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, Anambra
Council over the death of their daughter and secretary, Lady Ifeoma
Anumba. The death is so painful as it is so devastating. We are always
forced to relapse and only say it is well whenever we lost somebody so
dear to our heart.
“I call on the members of NUJ in the state to see this as a tragedy
that befell all of us and not the journalists alone, we shall miss her
smiling face and doggedness in thbe sustenance of the ethos of the
noble profession in the state and by extension, the country at large”
She urged media practitioners to immortalize the late Ifeoma Anumba by
living up to the calling of their profession and uphold truth which
she said will further deepen democracy in the country.
