The
remains of the late Media Officer of the Super Falcons, Miss Gracious Akujobi,
will be interred at her home-town, Egbu-Owerri, in Imo State on Saturday, August
22, 2015.
Akujobi,
who also served as Media Officer of the U-17 Women National Team, Flamingos, in
2012, died on Thursday, July 16 at the Super Falcons’ camp in Abuja, after
health complications.
Chairperson
of the Nigeria Women Football League and Member of the NFF Executive Committee,
Chief (Mrs) Dilichukwu Onyedinma, will lead the NFF delegation to the burial
rites.
“The truth is that we are
still saddened by her sudden death. Gracious Akujobi was a humble and dedicated
media officer, and highly professional. That is why the NFF has decided to play
a full role in the arrangements for the burial even though she was not a staff
of the Football Federation.
“We
cannot question the Almighty God. We love her but He loves her more. Our prayer
is that God will continue to give the family the fortitude to bear the loss,
and also grant late Gracious Akujobi eternal rest.”
