The appointment of Aremo Olusegun Osoba as Chairman, Governing Council of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism, NIJ is a laudable, well-deserved one.
Chief Osoba fits perfectly into the apex role, having spent his life building a career and reputation in professional journalism. This has not in anyway deterred the marks he has made as an astute administrator and statesman.
I am confident that this appointment by a Council of the brightest minds will not be regretted, as Baba Osoba will diligently answer the call to service and bring a rebirth to the Media. #BuildingOurFutureTogether
