Akume mourns former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has expressed sadness over the death of a former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh. 

Ogbeh, who served Nigeria in various capacities, including as Minister of Communications in the Second Republic and Minister of Agriculture under former President Muhammadu Buhari, died at the age of 78.

The SGF, in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Director of Information and Public Relations in his office, Segun Imohiosen, described Ogbeh's death as a great loss to the nation. 

Akume said that Ogbeh's death was also a personal loss, given their shared Benue heritage and commitment to national service, noting that the deceased joined politics in the 1970s as a legislator and remained steadfast in championing national unity and development.

Commiserating with the government and people of Benue, the deceased's family, friends, and political associates, praying for the repose of his soul, he emphasized that Ogbeh's legacy as a dedicated public servant and champion of national development will be remembered for generations to come
