Dan Agbese was a titan of truth – Information Minister

 

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr Dan Agbese, a foundational pillar of Nigeria’s contemporary journalism and a tireless advocate for a free press. 

 

Agbese was a titan of truth whose legacy formed the foundation of enlightened public discourse by co-founding the trailblazing Newswatch magazine, which became a defining institution in our national life.

 

Indeed, he championed the values of courage, intellectual integrity, and an unwavering commitment to press freedom, the very cornerstones of a vibrant democracy. Through his incisive "No Holds Barred" column and a lifetime of work, he held power to account and dedicated himself to the project of nation-building. 

 

Agbese's passing comes at a time when the Tinubu administration is deeply committed to fostering the very principles he fought for – an expanded democratic space, robust citizen engagement, and free speech. 

 

I therefore mourn him not only with grief, but with deep gratitude for a legacy that has indelibly shaped our nation's discourse. 

 

My heartfelt condolences go to his family, colleagues, and the entire media fraternity. 

 

Dan Agbese was a giant, and his profound contributions will continue to illuminate the path forward for Nigeria. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 

 

Mohammed Idris, fnipr

Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation.
