The pantheon of the heroes of the free speech as an institution to which our honorees belong is rich. Several luminaries of the anti-colonial and nationalist movement were also leading figures in the press. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ernest Ikoli, Anthony Enahoro, Herbert Macaulay, first established themselves as journalists of repute.
The roll call of these leading lights who have left us is a truly impressive one and it can be said without exaggeration that eternity has claimed a rich harvest. These men were remarkable and outstanding – giants of their craft in every right. While we recognise that their exit leaves a significant vacuum, this gathering serves a threefold purpose.
