He had served as commissioner for works in Governor Dave Umahi’s first tenure.
Governor Umahi’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Francis Nwaze, confirmed the commissioner’s death in a statement.
Nweze’s death makes him the second commissioner in Umahi’s cabinet to die in the last 2 months.
Recall that the state’s former Commissioner for Housing, Uche Okah, had also died in a hospital in Abuja.
Okah was said to be receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment when she passed away.
