Cross River Commissioner For Power, Eka William, Is Dead

The Cross River State Commissioner for Power and Renewable Energy, Prince Eka William, has died, throwing the state’s political and public service community into mourning.

William was announced to have died on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at a hospital in Abuja, where he was receiving medical attention.

His death was announced by his brother, Nkang William, in a statement on Sunday, in which he disclosed that the commissioner died suddenly.

Reacting to the loss, Nkang expressed disbelief over the sudden death, saying he was still struggling to accept that his brother, who was recently with the family, had suddenly become a memory.

He described William as more than a brother, but also a companion and an important part of the family, saying his death had created a void that words could hardly capture.

The statement 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.”

Nkang said that despite the pain, the family would continue to celebrate the life Prince Eka William lived, the people he touched, the knowledge he shared and the relationships he built.
