Advertising Titan, Sylvester Moemeke, Passes on at 82

One of the leading pioneers of the Nigerian advertising industry, Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Sylvester Moemeke, has passed on at the age of 82. He died peacefully in his home on Friday, March 8, 2015.

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.

Diokpa Moemeke has done well. He thought me to be meticulous. People like him are very few. It was nice working directly with him at a point in my life. May his soul rest in peace.
