The late Ghanaian Times reporter, Samuel Nuamah who died in an accident on the Ho-Accra road has been laid to rest.
Samuel Nuamah, a member of the Presidential Press Corps lost his life in an accident involving the media bus while returning from an assignment in Ho in the Volta Region.
Though President John Mahama was at the funeral, his tribute was read by the Minister of Communications, Edward Omane Boamah.
In the tribute he said “I’m so gutted by your death. Six years of dedicated service to my office and all ends in such a waste of your life. Like other members of the Flag staff House press corps, I’ve followed your report in the Ghanaian Times.”
“It was a traumatizing Thursday when I picked the regular report of the recovery process at the accident scene. Death was not what came to mind.”
“We have over the years built a strong relationship with our press corps. A very quiet yougman from the outside, but his name Samuel Nuamah and personality was still recognizable, why, I don’t know. But anytime I look within the press corps at functions, he was one of the few I spotted, always smartly dressed with a bag behind.”
“Adieu Sammy, fare thee well, rest in peace.”
Meanwhile, some of the members of the presidential press corps also eulogized their colleague.
