President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the chairman and publisher of Vanguard Media Limited, Sam Amuka-Pemu, on the occasion of his 84th birthday anniversary.
The president joined family of the media icon, the media industry in Nigeria and beyond to celebrate the award-winning journalist, columnist, publisher and elder statesman who has stirred the conscience of the nation for the greater part of his lifetime.
He said Sam’s deep understanding and patriotic appreciation of Nigeria, his devotion, sense of duty and leadership in the media industry, are exemplary.
The president also recognised the octogenarian’s unrelenting contributions to promoting professionalism in the media industry at a time when disinformation and fake news threaten the very essence of a free and unbiased press in a democratic society.
He wished Amuka-Pemu good health, happiness and God’s continued benevolence.
