Ogbeh to chair SMF maiden lecture

Former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, will chair the inaugural lecture in memory of the former Minister of Science and Technology, Gen. Samuel Momah, holding tomorrow in Abuja.

The late minister conceptualised the Sam Momah Foundation (SMF), which was launched on his 75th birthday, to provide literary and financial opportunities for the disadvantaged in the society, before his demise.

One of his sons, Dr. Nkem Momah, told The Guardian that the family felt the need to celebrate the man and highlight what he stood for while he lived.

He said that reading culture needed to be promoted in the country.
