The President recognised that the passion of the former Editor-in-Chief/Managing Director of the Daily Times, Assistant Publicity Officer, Department (now Federal Ministry) of Information and Pioneer Chairman, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission for public service was second to none, and that he used his knowledge and mastery to mentor people, who have also added value to journalism practice in the country.

“May the soul of Peter Pan rest in peace, the President prays,” he said.
