Obi, Ngige and Soludo Lead Farewell to NIPR Protocol Icon Chief Uche Udedibia in Anambra
Chief (Dr) Uche Augustine Udedibia, distinguished NIPR fellow and former Permanent Secretary of Anambra State, was laid to rest in his home village of Obieze, Ifitedunu in Dunukofia LGA. The ceremony drew former governors Peter Obi, Chris Ngige and Governor Chukwuma Soludo alongside leadership from the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR). A lying-in-state at the family residence allowed colleagues and friends, including the NIPR president and council members, to pay their final respects. The funeral mass at Saint Gabriel Catholic Church, attended by over twenty priests, was marked by a homily from Reverend Father Prof Boniface Obiefuna, who celebrated Udedibia’s legacy as a protocol pioneer and peacemaker. Throughout the service, NIPR Anambra Chapter executives, past commissioners and top government officials highlighted his mentorship of public relations officers and his unifying impact on the institute and the state’s public service.
