State commissioner dies in Abuja
The Cross River State Commissioner for Power and Renewable Energy, Prince Eka William Abang, has died at the age of public service.
Abang died on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at a hospital in Abuja, where he was receiving medical treatment.
His death was announced on Sunday by his brother, Nkang William, who said the commissioner’s death came suddenly and had left the family struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Nkang described his late brother as not only a sibling but also a companion and an important member of the family.
He said the family would continue to remember and celebrate Abang’s life, his contributions, relationships and the people he impacted.
The statement partly read, “I am struggling to believe that I am writing these words about you, my beloved brother, Dr. Eka Williams Abang. How can someone who was here with us suddenly become a memory? How can a familiar voice, a loving presence, and a precious life suddenly be silenced? My heart is broken, and my mind keeps searching for an explanation that can make this painful reality disappear.
“Brother, you were more than a brother to me. You were family, a companion on this journey of life, and someone whose presence carried meaning. There are memories that death cannot erase, conversations that time cannot destroy, and moments together that will remain permanently engraved upon our hearts. Your departure has left a space that words cannot adequately describe.”
