Ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described P.V. Obeng as an industrialist and a �lovable person.� He said: �I knew him from the late 70s� PV has been a great friend. He is intelligent and industrious. That�s how I believe he became a virtual prime minister. He was lovable. You can�t talk of the PNDC (Provisional National Defence Council) era without him and even into the NDC regime I believe he featured prominently. He served his country.� A remembrance service was held in Obeng�s honour at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Tema � the Harbour City of Ghana - before being laid in state later in the day. He was the chairman of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Council and the Chief Consultant and Chairman of OB Associates - a public and private sector consulting firm and also, the chairman of Ghana Agro and Food Company.
