Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United
Nations, Prof. Joy Ogwu, has lost her husband, Dr.
Aloysius C. Ogwu.
According to a statement from the Permanent
Mission, Dr. Ogwu passed on on October 27 in Rye,
New York. He was aged 77.
Dr. Ogwu was a surgeon who retired as a Chief
Consultant Surgeon at the Military Hospital, Ikoyi,
Lagos.
He is survived by his wife, Prof. Ogwu, five children,
grand-children, sisters and brothers.
A call made by THISDAY to Ezenwa Nwaobiala, one
of Ogwu’s media aides, said a condolence register
had been opened both at the mission and Dr Ogwu’s
home.
Nwaobiala said the register opened on Thursday at
the mission, would be closed today.
According to him, there will be a church service early
November after which the body would proceed to
Nigeria for the final rites of passage.
Full burial arrangements, the statement added,
would be announced by the family soon.
