some pivotal moments in his career
You are a celebrated journalist with accolades at home and abroad. How did your journalism journey begin?
The defining moment of my (journalism) journey was the end of my first semester in 100 Level at the University of Ibadan. I had been active as a campus journalist for a semester and I thoroughly loved the experience. I wrote roughly five to six articles per week because I was a member of Mellanby Hall Press Organisation, which published articles on a press board twice a week, and the Union of Campus Journalists, which published weekly. In those four months, I’d seen journalism as a tool for speaking up for the voiceless and fighting for good causes. But I was studying for a degree in Agriculture, eventually majoring in Animal Science. So, at the end of that semester, while other students went home, I stayed back and had a series of conversations with myself about what I wanted to do for a career. I stayed back in school for the entire two-week break, alone in my room, re-examining my life. In that solitude, I picked journalism over academics. I resolved I would become a journalist. So, I decided that, going forward, journalism would be a priority over Agriculture whenever there was a clash, with the exception of Continuous Assessment Tests and exams.
