THE Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to giving a former Vice President, late Dr Alex Ekwueme, a befitting burial. He said Buhari had committed about N1bn on Ekwueme from the day the Federal Government took over his medical bills to date. I can tell you authoritatively that Mr President (Buhari) is committed and passionate in ensuring a befitting burial for Ekwueme. “If he doesn’t come for the burial himself, I’m sure the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, will be here for the burial as a matter of right. Similarly, the Anambra State Government has commenced works on internal roads in Oko and environs, preparatory for the burial.
