I am saddened to report that the Head of Sports of DAAR Communications, Nigeria and RAY Power, Felix Okugbe, is dead. He died on Saturday at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria. This was after a protracted battle with cancer.
It was learnt he was in the hospital for a long time. The deceased covered international competitions such as the FIFA World Cup, the Olympics Games and the All Africa Games. Okugbe was one-time Chairman of the Edo State Sports Writers Association and was at one time, Sports Presenter at Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS) where I worked with him in the production of Global Sports, a popular multi-sports presentation on EBS in the 90s.
He was survived by a wife and children. May his soul rest in peace.
