Late Tony Momoh
A great tragedy has befallen the Nigerian Press. Two big irokos, Tony Momoh - erudite scholar, essayist, newspaper administrator and politician; and Lateef Kayode Jakande, journalists journalist, newspaper administrator and politician, all fell in quick succession - in the month of February, 2021.
Tony Momoh died on February 1, while Jakande died on February 11. February, what did the Nigerian Press do to you? Why pluck the two giants out of our midst? We are in deep mourning. We are in pains. We are in sorrow. We are grieving. The flag of Nigerian Press is now flying at half mast, in honour of these two icons of Nigerian journalism.
