The new book should enrich our national collection on the history and evolution of Nigeria’s journalism. One of the nation’s best journalists, Chief Osoba is one of the important persons that played crucial roles in the founding of The Guardian. A successful businessman and a doting family man, he founded The Guardian in 1983 at age 38. I can only hope that this book will open the way for media professionals and veterans to document their experiences in the industry. I must commend Prof Yemi Osinbajo for honouring the Alex Ibru, his family and us, former employees of The Guardian newspaper, with his esteemed presence and beautiful speech despite his hectic schedule.
