The Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, is reported dead.



Sources close to NewsWireNGR said he just passed on. Until his death, Senator Chukwumerije, born November 1939 was elected a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in April 2003, representing Abia North Senatorial District.
