Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, former Governor of Abia and Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, has termed Justice Chima Nweze’s death as a national tragedy.
This was stated in a sympathy statement sent by Kalu on Monday in Abuja.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Nweze was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria until his death, and he made major contributions to the nation’s judicial system.
Kalu, who hailed the late jurist’s merits, recognised his contributions to the judiciary and nation development through numerous forums.
The late jurist, according to the former Senate Chief Whip, was a man of respect and dignity, whose legacies were worthy of emulation by his contemporaries in the judiciary.
He praised the late Supreme Court justice for making great advances in his chosen career.
“I express condolences to the government and people of Enugu State on the death of Supreme Court Justice Chima Neeze,” he stated.
“Due to his unrivalled attributes, which he demonstrated and upheld in various capacities in his profession, the late jurist was a shining light in the judiciary.”
“In carrying out his duties and responsibilities, he was hardworking, bold, courageous, cerebral, patriotic, and dynamic.”
“In various capacities, the late judge made invaluable contributions to nation building.”
“He will be remembered for his charitable deeds.”
While praying for the late jurist’s everlasting repose, Kalu urged the Nweze family to take comfort in the fact that the deceased lived a wonderful and worthwhile life.
