President Bola Tinubu has congratulated veteran journalist, elder statesman, and former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, on his 85th birthday.
President Tinubu, according to a statement issued on Saturday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, celebrated his long-time friend for his commitment to progressive ideals and passion for Nigeria’s development.
As Chief Osoba launches his new book, ‘Segun Osoba: My Life in the Public Eye’, in celebration of this milestone birthday, the President commended him for the publication and trusts that his inspiring story, particularly his achievements as a public servant, will inspire future leaders and members of the press to commit to consistently manifesting Chief Osoba’s core characteristics of integrity, accountability, doggedness, and hard work.
Chief Osoba served twice as governor of Ogun State. First, from 1992 to 1993, during the aborted Third Republic, and then from 1999 to 2003.
In the field of journalism, Chief Osoba, the reporter who later became Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of Daily Times, set a remarkable standard of excellence in his unflinching professionalism, objectivity, courage, and balance, serving as a guiding light for media practitioners across many generations.
