Widely known as CBN (which denotes central bank of Nigeria), this name came to the fact that he, Chief Francis Diele, worked with the central bank of Nigeria.
He once worked at the head office in Abuja as the deputy director of human resources, before subsequently being transferred to Portharcourt (Ph) as the branch controller. There he worked until his death.
Called ‘a father’, ‘an angel’ ‘a friend’, ‘a rock’, and a man fiercely loved by all, he stood tall and sure, whose strength and values were inestimable.
A father to all, Chief was seen as the only one who people felt they could count on whose legacies and foot prints will never be departed from.
He left a big hole in people’s hearts. God used him to be a vessel to a source of joy and inspiration - not just to his people’s class but to all who came across him. He was strong through to the very end.
Although the world is full of pains, God has used him here on earth to be a pillar of strength. In him a king was seen by all.
This, by many, is not end, but a time to soar with the angles and praise the Lord. He will be seen again, by his followers, once their own race is accomplished here on earth.
Chief Diele, Chimezie Okwudiri Francis was a man of honour, who will watch over all so they can feel his presence always.
Losing him now just doesn’t seem fair. On behalf of 2018 class (PH.D) Esut Nigeria.
