The South East Senate Caucus expressed shock and sorrow over the death former Chairman of Diamond Bank, Dr Pascal Dozie.
The Caucus in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja by its chairman, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe said his death has robbed Nigeria of a banking guru and an acknowledged economist of high repute.
Dr. Dozie, he said, was indeed an icon and a foresighted economist who also chaired one of the world’s communication giants, MTN, “which means that he was one of the steady hands in the economic circle that sat at the commanding heights of not only Nigeria’s macro-economic evolution, but that of the entire Africa.
“Dr. Pascal Dozie was indeed a pathfinder whose death would surely leave a huge vacuum in the banking industry and our country’s development.
“He was a great son of Igboland, an illustrious Nigerian and a beacon of transparent financial management in our dear county’, Senator Abaribe said.
The South East Senate Caucus therefore condoled with his family, the banking industry, the government and people of Imo State and indeed the entire Nigeria on this huge loss.
