The family described his passing as a "glorious transition" from a life of devoted service to eternal rest.
Reverend Ukpai, widely recognised as a spiritual general and founding father of faith, dedicated over six decades of his life to evangelism, dynamic teaching of the Word, and prophetic demonstrations of God's power.
Over the course of his ministry, Dr Ukpai became known for his fiery evangelistic campaigns, transformative teachings, and commitment to empowering both clergy and lay leaders.
Beyond his spiritual work, he was also celebrated as a loving husband, devoted father, and mentor to countless individuals who regarded him as a guide in faith and life.
The family expressed gratitude for the life and work of Ukpai, highlighting that while they mourn his physical absence, they rejoice that he has "finished his race and is now resting in eternal praise."
They assured the public that details of his obsequies would be shared in due course.
The members of the Christian community and the general public have taken to media platforms to express their grief while thanking God for a life well spent, particularly in the light of Dr Una Ukpai’s scheduled session at the PFN 40th Celebration.
Dr. Ukpai's ministry, spanning over sixty years, leaves behind a profound spiritual and social legacy, with churches, educational initiatives, and humanitarian efforts that continue to influence communities globally.
His life, the family said, was a testament to the biblical truth that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21).
