Lady Maiden Ibru, Publisher of The Guardian, has paid tribute to the Nigerian Tribune on its 75th anniversary, lauding its unwavering commitment to social justice, equity, and the rule of law since its inception in 1949.
Reflecting on the Tribune’s origins, Lady Ibru noted that its establishment was fueled by the quest for emancipation from colonialism and the pursuit of social justice.
These ideals, she emphasised, remain integral to the newspaper’s editorial philosophy and public engagement to this day.
She praised the Nigerian Tribune for its balanced reporting, constructive criticism, and dedication to holding governments accountable, regardless of political affiliation.
The message read “The unconquerable quest for social justice, emancipation from the bondage of colonialism, and the rule of law, combined, inspired the establishment of The Nigerian Tribune in 1949.
“That underlying philosophy, is consistently reflected in its editorial opinions till this day. Unsurprisingly, the Tribune’s balanced reportage; constructive criticisms; holding the government, of all shades to account; speaks to the fearless and visionary foresight of its founder and nationalist leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo (1909 – 1987).
“I wish The Tribune many more years of excellent service to the cause of equity, social justice, and enduring development in Nigeria and beyond.”
