Dr. Charles Iwunor, you were and erudite scholar and a seasoned researcher worked very hard to attain the position you were before your demise. You imparted the lives of many people and you were appreciated for it going by the comments on Faculty of Science and Statistics ambassador’s whatsapp platform since your demise was announced.
Although, you were an extrovert, but most often misunderstood, and whenever you noticed that, it is not difficult for you to say “my friend, I am sorry I am sorry”. You were so caring to students and you own children. When your children were yong, everyday, you buy bteard from UI bakery, boiled groundnuts, sweets and many things for your children.
Our dear brother, teacher, supervisor, senior colleague, husband, father and grand father, we love you but God loves you more. Do rest in perfect peace in the bossom of the Lord.
Good night.
