The immediate past Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Women Affairs, Ambassador Anthonia Ekpa, has buried her only son Mfon-Obong Akpabio Ekpa, who died last Monday.
Ambassador Ekpa bided final farewell to Mfon at the service of songs held on Saturday, at the First Abuja Parish, Presbyterian Church in Wuse II, before his internment at the Gudu Cemetery in Abuja.
The late Mfon-Obong Akpabio Ekpa was from Ema Itam village in Itu Local Government of Akwa Ibom State.
Until his death, he was the lead innovator at Keap Technologies and a strategy consultant with 2Toc Tech Solutions.
Mfon, as he was fondly called, was said to had a unique drive to create technological and security solutions for business in the Nigerian space.
Ambassador Ekpa, eulogising her son, said, he was smart like Christ and a saintly son whose place will be with the angels and known prophets as he exits the earth to take his rightful place with much rhetorics.
“Mfon-Obong, smart like Christ your Lord master and friend. Did you depart on angels wings, was it Elijah’s chariot that lifted you. This time around you refuse to share heaven’s secret with me.
“Sonny, I stare in amazement at your god-like censored existence, you were different. No wonder the King of Kings took you as his personal aide,” she said.
Earlier, sister to the deceased Yene Ekpa, while reading his biography stated his amazing qualities and his love for humanity, describing his attitude towards life and people while disclosing that all who has ever met him will fondly miss him, as he always impact those that crosses path with him.
Officiating reverend at the service, Barrister Okorie Emenike, described the deceased as an astounding and well put to together young man who brought a remarkable change to the church and his peers.
“Mfon-Obong is a unique man with few words, yet each time he speaks it is memorable. He initiated live streaming of the church services which he carried out effortlessly and trained young persons in the church on ICT to propagate the word of God.
Death does not have a plan schedule and affects all and sundry and as such everyone should be in readiness as to when it comes calling,” he said.
