| President Muhammadu Buhari |
President Muhammadu Buhari has extended heartfelt commiserations to the family, friends and associates of Hon. Eddy Dakoru, teacher, businessman and one-time member Rivers State House of Assembly in the second republic, 1979-1983.
Dakoru, who died at the age of 92, was also a former Councillor representing Horsfall ward in the Degema Local Government Council of Rivers State.
The President believes that the very respectable gentleman, who did not allow himself to be overcome by lifeโs challenges having lost his father at the age of 4, will be fondly remembered for his hardwork and diligence.
The President noted that with determination and perseverance, the former Confidential Secretary in United Africa Company of Nigeria (UAC) in the fifties rose to the position of Human Resources and Industrial Relations Manager in 1975, becoming the first Nigerian to be appointed to a full managerial status at Tate &Lyle Nigeria limited.
President Buhari prayed God to grant the soul of the departed eternal rest, and comfort those who mourn.
