 Governor Okezii Kbazu of Abia State has described the deaths of National Examination Council registrar, Professor Gotswil Obiyoma, as sad and yet another blow to the people of Abia. The governor made this statement in a press statement by his chief press secretary, Onyebuchi Emenonka in Aba. Obiyoma, who was the registrar and chief executive officer of the NECO, reportedly died during a brief illness in his house on Sunday. Ikbazu said that he had sent a congratulatory message to the late Obiyoma barely a year ago on May 22, 2020, after he was appointed the registrar of NECO. According to him, he was always prepared to come down to Abia, even at the shortest of notices, once it had to do with the good of Abia State. He also lamented that the state buried one of its appointees to the federal government late Chidi Izoua, a director general at Infrastructure, Regulatory and Concession Commission at the presidency.
