President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the publisher of the community newspaper, Oriwu Sun, Chief Monzor Olowosago, as celebrates his 70th birthday on May 15, 2021.
In a congratulatory message endorsed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President saluted the resilience which has seen Olowosago publishing Oriwu Sun for 36 years, turning it into the foremost community newspaper in the country.
President Buhari felicitated with the family, friends and professional colleagues of Olowosago, asking the media entrepreneur to use his professional skills in nurturing younger crop of journalists, who would value fidelity to ethics and professionalism.
He said the fact that Oriwu Sun has maintained cordial relationship with successive governments in Lagos State since it was established in 1985 “shows that the newspaper is focused, and development-oriented.”
“The president wishes Olowosago longer life, and greater wisdom to serve the society, and journalism, the profession he loves so much,” Adesina added.
