The Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade honoured the late President Dr. Hage Geingob, who served as the minister from 2008 to 2012, for his significant contributions to expanding Namibia's trade and industrial initiatives.

The Ministry hosted a candlelight vigil to celebrate the life and legacy of the late President.

Minister Lucia Iipumbu addressed the mourners and narrated the achievements of the late President during his time as the Minister of the then Trade and Industry Ministry, which has since been renamed the Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade.
