On Aug. 12, members of the NUJ had joined Ukuma for a thanksgiving service at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at Genabe Welfare Quarters in Makurdi.
Ukuma had thanked God for showing him mercy and also prayed for the NUJ.
The late chairman, who had deep interest in sports, was noted for hard work and his passion to improve the welfare of journalists in Benue.
