Nda-Isaiah: Farewell To A Maverick Dream Chaser, By Danladi Ndayebo 5 min read

My first encounter with Mr. Sam Ndanusa Isaiah, in the middle of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s first term as Nigeria’s president, hardly left the impression that we were destined to develop a professional relationship, or that we would come to know each other as well as we later did, before his transition to the great beyond last Friday.
FAREWELL TO A MAVERICK DREAM CHASERDanladi Ndayebo pays tribute to Sam Nda-Isaiah, publisher of Leadership Newspapers
My first encounter with Mr. Sam Ndanusa Isaiah, in the middle of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s first term as Nigeria’s President hardly left the impression that we were destined to develop a working professional relationship, or that we would come to know each other as well as we did, before his transition to the great beyond last Friday.
I was an avid reader of ‘Last Word,’ his Monday Column in the Daily Trust Newspapers and he came across as a clever, witty and intelligent writer. I was therefore excited to meet him in Minna in December, 2002 at the instance of my big brother, Dr. Abubakar Tswanya.
