It is with great grief and sadness that I received the news of the passing of Ambassador Blessing Akporode Clark, who had an illustrious career as a diplomat, contributing to the progress and development of our country.
A brilliant diplomat, Ambassador Akporode had a knack for excellence and dedication to duty and brought glory to the nation on every given assignment, including as a former Ambassador to Ethiopia and Switzerland and Permanent Representative to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) and the United Nations (UN) in Geneva.
Ambassador Akporode is a generational gift. He will be sorely missed.
I commiserate with Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, the Clark-Fuludu Bekederemo family of Kiagbodo Town, Delta State, and indeed all Nigerians over the demise of this national asset. I pray God grants all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
His Excellency,
Godwin Obaseki
Governor, Edo State
