A prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State and former Commissioner for Finance, Olorogun Bernard Okumagba, has condoled with the Clark family of Kiagbodo and indeed the entire nation, on the passing of renowned elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, at the age of 97.

In a press statement, Olorogun Okumagba stated, “I am saddened to hear about the passing of our dearly beloved Chief Edwin Clark, a true Nigerian elder statesman and icon. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his loved ones, our people in Delta State, the Niger Delta Region and the entire nation.”

He stated further that, “Chief Clark’s life was a testament to his unwavering dedication to public service. Indeed, he spent over seven decades serving Nigeria in various capacities from the local to the Federal level as Councillor, State Commissioner for Education, Federal Commissioner (Minister) for Information and Senator. He was a member of various national conferences and spent his lifetime working with like minds to birth a Nigeria founded on equity and primed for development and growth.”

His contributions to the establishment of the University of Benin and the founding of Edwin Clark University in 2015 are a testament to his passion for education and empowerment.”
