Nigeria has lost a thoroughbred journalist as Dr. Ngozi Anyaegbunam is dead
Anyaegbunam, who was the first female editor of Champion Newspaper, died at the age of 67 after a brief illness.
A trailblazing journalist who also worked at The Daily Times (where she authored the book Waziri Ibrahim: Politics Without Bitterness), Ngozi was born in October 1957 at Damaturu in modern day Yobe State to George and Victoria Anyaegbunam.
Subsequent to these, she became a full time media management consultant to numerous blue chip companies.
She also held the distinction of being a female print media journalist to interview two sitting Presidents of Nigeria (Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari).
A dedicated and loving mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and friend, Auntie Ngozi will be sorely missed by all who came across her and were impacted by her larger than life presence.
Rest in Peace till we meet to part no more!!
Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family.
