A Life of Distinction: CHIEF DR. EJIKE CHUKWU Mourns Late Chief (Hon.) Dr. Chris Chigoziri Asoluka

In the quiet embrace of night on May 9, 2025, the world lost a luminary. Chief (Hon.) Dr. Chris Chigoziri Asoluka—statesman, scholar, and architect of progress—departed this earthly realm, leaving behind a legacy etched in service and excellence.

A scholar of rare brilliance, he ascended the heights of academia, earning accolades from the University of Ibadan to the halls of London’s finest institutions. His mind, sharp as a blade, carved pathways in law, economics, and public policy, shaping Nigeria’s intellectual and governance landscape.

In public service, he stood as a colossus—legislator, finance commissioner, and economic strategist—guiding the nation through turbulent tides with wisdom and foresight. His leadership in maritime and trade policy transformed industries, fostering growth where stagnation once loomed.

Okwuruoha was a mentor, a patriarch, a man who measured success not in wealth but in lives uplifted. His daughter, Somachi Chris-Asoluka, carries forward his torch, a testament to the enduring power of his influence.

Today, we mourn, but we also celebrate—a life well-lived, a nation forever changed.

Rest, Okwuruoha. Your work endures.
