During his tenure in the Senate spanning from 2007 to 2015, Senator Eze made significant contributions to national governance and legislative processes. Serving as Committee Chairman on Information and Media during his initial four years, he later took on the role of chairman for the committee on works after his reelection in 2011.

Senator Eze’s dedication to public service extended beyond his committee roles.

“We heard the sad news. We are mourning him now. His death is a loss to us, the state, and Nigeria,” Ikechukwu Eze said.

Born on November 23, 1958, Senator Ayogu Eze began his political journey when he was elected Senator for the Enugu North Senatorial District of Enugu State on June 5, 2007.

The passing of Senator Ayogu Eze marks the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, service, and commitment to the welfare of the people he represented.
