Press release: Mama Teshoma

DELTA STATE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION June 03, 2014 Press release Mama Teshoma: A Unique Mother On behalf of the media community in Delta State, we commiserate with Uncle Sam Amuka-Pemu, publisher of Vanguard newspapers, on the passing to eternal glory of his mother, Mama Teshoma Amuka-Pemu, who answered God’s call at the ripe age of 109 years. In Uncle Sam, Mama Teshoma gave Nigeria an icon in journalism and newspaper publishing, displaying her quality as a unique mother with the passion for raising disciplined children and nation builders. Mama Teshoma’s life and accomplishments are testimony to what the Nigerian society can achieve when families are built on the virtues of hard work, love for God and country, patriotism and discipline. We thank God for blessing Nigeria and the media community with Mama Teshoma and pray that the Almighty receives her in his bosom. We celebrate her life with Uncle Sam and all the Amuka-Pemu family and pray for more Mama Teshomas for our country. Signed CHIKE C. OGEAH Esq Honourable Commissioner for Information
