Chief J. M. Barovbe

UHS Conference Coordinator in Nigeria

Johnson Barovbe was very much part of the organization of the 4th UHS Annual Conference. He coordinated the affairs of the Conference in Nigeria and was responsible for liaising with Deacon Gamaliel Onosode and Olorogun Moses Taiga, both of whom were nominated to play pivotal roles in the Conference. In the Conference itself, Barovbe played major roles. He was the chair of the Cultural Evening. He made the largest donation for the organization of the 4th Annual Conference at the venue of the Conference.
