Nigeria’s foremost print and digital media group, PUNCH Nigeria Limited, is set to roll out the drums to mark its 50th anniversary with an array of epoch-making ceremonies in Lagos. PUNCH, the publisher of the nation’s leading newspaper titles, The PUNCH, Saturday PUNCH, Sunday PUNCH and PUNCH Online, clocked 50 on 18 March 2023. The 50th anniversary will be marked with the 40th anniversary of the passing of the founding Chairman, the late James Olubunmi Aboderin, who died on 28 February 1984 at the age of 50. The celebration of our 50th anniversary is not just an opportunity to wine and dine but a chance to celebrate our excellent heritage and fierce editorial independence,” Mr Joseph said. A special commemorative anniversary publication to mark the golden jubilee anniversary of the newspaper will also be distributed at some of the events.
