BREAKING: Ohaneze President-General Is Dead

Information reaching Naija News House says that Ohaneze President-General Is Dead

The former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Joe Irukwu, is dead.

He died at the age of 89.

Prince Okorie, President-General, Amaokwe Item Welfare Union, announced this on Saturday in Enugu.

He said: “The Amaokwe Item Welfare Union, on behalf of the entire Amaba Ukwu kindred and the immediate family, hereby announce the glorious but painful demise of our great patron, father, grandfather, son and brother, Prof. Joseph Ogbonnaya Irukwu.

“The Union, on behalf of the Amaokwe Community, commiserates with the family and prays God to grant his soul peaceful rest.

“The Union enjoined all Amaokwe sons and daughters to mourn the exit of this giant as we also remember to uphold his family in prayers in this moment of grief.”

Mr Irukwu, a lawyer, lecturer, author and insurance guru, was the founding managing director of Nigerian Reinsurance Corporation.

He founded the African Development Insurance Company thereafter, which was later sold to Diamond Bank.

Mr Irukwu obtained a degree in Law and Insurance from a British university in 1962, and upon returning to Nigeria, he took employment with West African Provincial Insurance Company, a British firm operating out of Lagos.

He rose within the firm and joined the managerial cadre of the firm’s insurance department in 1965.

In 1970, he was appointed chief executive officer of Unity Life and Fire Insurance Company, and it was while working at Unity that his profile began to rise.

In 1972, the government appointed him head of the student loans board, a committee responsible for disbursing loans to thousands of students.

In 1977, Mr Irukwu became the pioneer chief executive of the Nigerian Reinsurance Corporation, a government-owned business established to increase the local share of reinsurance premium income.

Before the establishment of the firm, insurance firms in Nigeria conducted reinsurance transactions with foreign companies.

Mr Irukwu published his first book, Insurance Law and Practice in Nigeria, in 1967, and his second book, Accident and Motor Insurance in West Africa, was published in 1974.

His third book, Insurance Management in Africa, was published in 1976.
