Mr. Moemeke, aptly described as the ‘father’ of Nigerian advertising, was born on December
28, 1933 at Onicha-Uku, in Aniocha-North LGA of Delta State. He attended
schools in Ikot-Ekpene, Lagos and Benin before proceeding to London for his
university education.
On his return from the UK, he worked briefly with UAC before
joining Lintas Lagos, as it was then called. He rose through the ranks to
become the first indigenous Chairman and Managing Director, before his
retirement.
'IS’ as Moemeke was fondly called, was the pioneer Chairman
of APCON, the second president of AAPN, now AAAN, the body of Advertising
agencies, which he was instrumental in founding.
He was a Fellow of numerous professional bodies and a
life-long adviser to the government of Delta State.
Mr. Moemeke’s funeral arrangements will be announced by his
family.
