Igbo Think Tank, Aka Ikenga, has celebrated its former President, Dr Chris Asoluka, whose final interment begins in Owerri today, for his impact and solid intellectual resonance.
In a tribute by Director of Communications, Collins Ugwu, President, Agbalanze Madueke, said Dr Asoluka’s ascension was a reality still unreal, because his life is present in many things and people.
He said: “People like Chris don’t just depart and disappear, not in the least in Aka Ikenga, where through grit and vision, he was a ladder for history, stamina and revelation.
‘‘The life and times of Dr Asoluka, Okwuroha Ndigbo, was a serial compact of brilliance and a seminal compass for transformation through leadership, trust and integrity.

‘‘Proudly with Aka Ikenga in his veins, he illuminated his every space planting seeds that became trees, and tending grasses that became oaks in seven decades of industry, capacity and captivation.”
He said Dr Asoluka as a disruptive mate and friend from University of Ibadan till date, deserved celebration than mourning, because he unlocked destinies in his services, fulfilled expectations in family, and sprayed compassion. Indeed, our thanksgiving to his Maker that gave him to us is loud for the pearls he nurtured as children, now in the care of his love, Nneka. Yes, we lost Chris, but we got ample Chris in Somachi, Jamachi, and Lemachi, replicas of their dad, and are already inspiring bar breakers.
Aka Ikenga wishes the soul of Chris Asoluka happy repose, and to his family, fortitude, grace and strength.
