President Bola Tinubu extends warm congratulations to Azubuike Ishiekwene, Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Interview, on his 60th birthday.

A Fellow of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Azu as he is fondly known, has had a distinguished career in journalism spanning over three decades.

He has worked with several reputable media organisations, including The Punch, where he was a columnist and editorial board member; ThisDay as Editor and later the Deputy Managing Director; and Leadership, where he currently serves as the Group Managing Director.

President Tinubu appreciates Ishiekwene's brilliant and incisive commentary and analysis on Nigeria's politics, the economy, and society.

He notes that his insightful contributions and recent writings on digital media have earned him wide recognition and admiration, even from those who may not readily agree with his views.

Commending his contributions to developing the Nigerian media landscape, the President trusts that the dawn of a new age will bring more fantastic inspiration and wisdom.

He prays God almighty to grant the journalist good health and fulfilment in all his endeavours.
