The Governor noted that the death of Dr Ikwulono is not only shocking and painful but has also created a vacuum very difficult to fill.
“The Governor says the late Commissioner for Health and Human Services will be deeply missed by the Government and people of the state for his proactive efforts in tackling health challenges confronting Benue people, particularly the fight against COVID-19.
“He prays that the deceased gets eternal rest and his family the strength to bear the irreparable loss,” the statement read.
