In a statement on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, he urged Ezekwesili, her family, and all associates of the late businesswoman to find strength in her good works.

According to the statement, the President noted that her testimony of reverence for God and service to humanity have continued to resonate.

Madam Ujubuonu lost the battle to cancer and died in the arms and home of her daughter, Ezekwesili, in Abuja on Sunday night.
