4. During his active years as a versatile PR, Samson worked with several of Africa's finest personalities including Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, Genevieve, Grace Amah, KBaba, MC Oluomo, Babajide Kolade Otitoju, Ozzybosco but says his most memorable experiences include covering the Amnesty Project under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 and being a Volunteer/ campaign mobilizer for the Buhari-Osinbajo campaign.

5. Mckinggs Media Productions, owned by Samson was launched in 2011 at his Church as parent company for the prestigious Trek Africa series and other projects, which over the years has successfully convened dignitaries from all spheres of life via Trek Africa Women Awards- which turned Trek Africa Awards, Trek Africa Entrepreneurship Conference, Face of Trek Africa (Beauty Pageant) and many other progressive collaborations.

Fondly addressed as Mr. Trek among his internationally growing community of fans and admirers, while his upperclass professional circles prefer the more corporate Mckinggs, Samson's compartmentalized activities as a youth convener, media personality and political activist is projected to grant him equal footing with any seasoned politician in his category.
