Wow… twenty years already.
I joined The LEADERSHIP Newspapers Group in 2006 and labored there till 2015 (much less the 12 months I took off to experiment elsewhere).
From then till now, LEADERSHIP has remained a resilient power to be reckoned with, its influence reaching past our shores additionally. As a pioneer in lots of regards, LEADERSHIP stays related by upholding the virtues of excellence, fact, and integrity, in addition to by staying abreast of and imbibing the very best worldwide journalistic practices. It has by no means been afraid to alter as a way to develop when it has needed to.
However then, that’s how the newspaper steady’s founder was – by no means afraid to make adjustments once they have been vital. The visionary, fearless, nothing-is-impossible stance of the late Sam Nda-Isaiah retains the organisation thriving regardless of all of the challenges he and the corporate encountered by way of the years. And boy, have there been some challenges! However this ship continues to sail, proving that nothing can sink it.
And, after all, the newspaper’s rise can be because of the high quality of journalists and different professionals who’ve labored at LEADERSHIP over time. LEADERSHIP has at all times been a hub the place seasoned business professionals are discovered and the place budding journalists can study from them and develop. If something stands LEADERSHIP out, it’s that those that have labored there and are nonetheless there stay a household dedicated to the corporate’s and one another’s development.
Many who handed by way of this establishment at the moment are serving or have beforehand served in locations of nice status and duty on the stage of governance and in any other case, inside and outdoors the nation. There are only a few who move by way of LEADERSHIP who don’t go on to excel as journalists or in no matter different subject of endeavour they embrace.
LEADERSHIP continues to blaze the path in its combat for good governance, holding these in management to account, breaking the information forward of others and delivering reportage that’s balanced and dependable. Its podcast, LeVogue journal and Nationwide Economic system are just a few causes it stands as a pacesetter and instance.
It has been twenty nice years of wonderful, moral journalism and innovation, and I’m blessed and grateful to God that I can say that I’ve been part of its nonetheless unfolding story. I’m positive that that is one story that may finish effectively.
Congratulations to LEADERSHIP, its administration, and all its employees, previous and current. Maintain the LEADERSHIP Newspapers Group’s banner flying excessive for God and for nation!
