“What a monumental loss!
A young man passes through huddles and tempest to be one among his contemporaries,went through a lots,saw and conquered but to the prime time of his relaxation after service,the ugly death came and took him away.

Professor Saidu Ogah is one of the finest and refined igala man who has set a pace, driving by determination,zeal and passion for knowledge over years,he’s a trial blazer,pathfinder,enthusiasm,and an intelligentsia who has calved a wood out of mud telling you “it’s possible” a visionary,a big fish in a small pond, it’s a rude shock to hear you’ve commence your journey to the great beyond,so sad.

You made us proud,you put smile on our faces, you encourage and set a lofty standard sir, you have surgeon so well,rest on sir,we would miss you greatly.”
