loss to his family and by extension, Ebonyi State and prayed God to
console his family and grant his soul eternal rest.

beingness and to accept the glaring reality that your son, Onyekachi
is dead. To you, he was a son but to us, he was a teacher, a young
man who rose to top of his career and remained dedicated to his duties
as well discharged his functions as a teacher and a father creditably.
It is therefore at this juncture that I most sincerely convey my
deepest condolences to you and your entire family on behalf of the
patriotic citizens of Ebonyi State “

bosom while I urge you and your entire family to bear the trauma
caused by his untimely demise with utmost courage, bearing in mind
that his stay on earth was memorable and sourjourn to eternity
glorious”

emulate the good vitures of their father and immortalize him by
upholding same.
