Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea – Jackson Mumu, a respected electrical engineer and managing director of EEC Group Of Companies, passed away on August 22nd, 2024, after a short illness. Mumu, a beloved figure in his community, died at the Port Moresby General Hospital.
Jackson Mumu was known for his significant contributions to the local community, providing employment opportunities for young Papua New Guineans and inspiring those around him. Raised by his mother and paternal uncle after the early passing of his father, Mumu grew to become a loving father and a central figure in his extended family.
