President Muhammadu Buhari has condoled with leading industrialist, Chief Eugene Ojukwu, on the loss of his wife, Fanny, who died at 70.
The president, in a statement on Monday in Abuja urged Ojukwu, chairman of Ekesons Group, to accept the loss of his long-time companion in good faith.
A statement signed by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, noted that the deceased kept the home front while the husband toiled to build his business conglomerate.
“She also ensured that the children were well nurtured into becoming successful professionals,” the statement further quoted Buhari as saying of the late woman.
Buhari enjoined the Ojukwu family to find comfort in the fact that the departed lived a quality life and positively touched all that came in contact with her.
He prayed that God would accept the soul of Mrs Fanny Ojukwu and give those she left behind the fortitude to bear the loss.
