GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana government says it will rename the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) building in honor of Dr. Roger Forbes Luncheon, who died here earlier this month at the age of 74 years.
“We have decided at the defense board, in his honor, the NISA building will be properly renamed to recognize his contribution to Guyana and the security of this country,” said President Irfaan Ali, speaking during Tuesday’s funeral service for the former head of the Presidential Secretariat and cabinet secretary for five consecutive Presidents.
Luncheon passed away on August 1, after an extended period of illness, at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) and, until his death, remained a member of the Cabinet, serving as a special advisor.
Ali described Dr. Luncheon as a unique individual, transcending ordinary definitions, whose dedication to public service was exceptional, and who maintained high standards throughout his career.
“His decision to stay clear of the glamour, often associated with the famous, wasn’t an act of isolation. He made a conscious choice to stand shoulder to shoulder with those whose lives mirrored his working-class origin,” he added.
Luncheon received his education and training in the United States and became Guyana’s first nephrologist, dedicating almost two decades of service to the GPHC.
