NGE salutes Osoba, Obaigbena for giving media place of honour

THE Nigerian Guild of Editors ( NGE) has saluted former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Segun Osoba and the Chairman/ Editor- in- Chief, THISDAY Newspapers Group/ Arise News, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, for giving journalism and the media sector a place of honour.

In a birthday message to the two eminent journalists, the Guild, in a statement signed by its President Mustapha Isah and General Secretary Iyobosa Uwugiaren, said that they have brought creative innovation to modern day journalism practice through their labours and accomplishments.

Describing Obaigbena, fondly called the Duke by his close associates, as possessing resilient character, tact, and a tenacious strength of mind to succeed, the Guild said the media entrepreneur has been able to navigate very rough pathway in the past four decades to arrive at where he is today: an unchangeable success.

It said: “An influential member of the Guild and former President, Newspapers Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria ( NPAN), Prince Obaigbena is, arguably, one of Nigeria’s most powerful newspaper publishers and brainy, who has successfully built an influential network of friends and associates that cuts across all segments of the society.”
