Sir Ndubuka Richard Ogbonna
xx xx, xxxx - xx xx, xxxx
With heavy hearts, but with gratitude to God, we announce the death of Sir Ndubuka Richard Ogbonna (KSJ), beloved husband, devoted father, doting grandfather, passionate teacher and supportive mentor to several generations of students. We will miss him dearly for his care, wisdom and humour. He was an inspiration to many of his peers, and his students, who will fondly remember him for his passionate teaching methods, and his commitment to inspiring excellence in students across many schools in Nigeria. After three decades of stellar service in education, he retired in 2008, at the peak of his career, as the Principal of Federal Government College Keffi, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. In retirement he remained committed to his Catholic Faith as a Knight of the Order of St John, a calling he carried on dutifully to his death. He passed on peacefully, surrounded by his family, on the 17th of March 2025, having lived an impactful life of service to his family faith and profession.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen While we remain in this class, let's move round the world and if you must know there is no cold region in Nigeria. He was truly a great educator
