He appreciated God for a life well spent by the retiree whom he revealed had touched the lives of the less privileged across board.
“Dr. Samson Adewole Adegoke according to available reports which we can also attest to is that he singlehandedly established Outsource Contractors, FMC Keffi and also touched the lives of the downtrodden in the society among others.
“He retired meritoriously and for some of us that have been with him, his retirement has increased his strength to serve Nigeria and beyond positively” he said.
