It was on a sad note and with rudest shock that the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Enugu State Council received the news of the death of a great communication icon and former Senator Representing Enugu North in the National Assembly, Chief Ayogu Eze.

The man of many parts who God used to ensure that many Journalists were gainfully employed in federal establishments and beyond had his impact equally felt by some media organisations especially Radio Nigeria when he piloted the affairs of the Senate committee on Communication and media in 2007.

Senator Eze who was once an erudite Journalist worked with Guardian Newspaper and News watch Magazine.

He was a one time Commissioner for information in Enugu State.

His demise shook the media, the political space and the entire Enugu North Senatorial Zone especially the people of Enugu Ezike where he hailed from.

It was indeed a black Thursday!

NUJ Enugu State Council while mourning this illustrious son of the state, sympathises with the family especially his dear wife, Nkechi Eze and relations over the irreplaceable loss.

Fare thee well, Ebubedike.
