Akwa Ibom State government is giving significant attention to the care of the old, writes ANIETIE USEN
One of my best known mentors is Ray Ekpu, the renowned international journalist and 1987 World Editor of the Year. He is 76 years old now but still flourish with the memory of an elephant.
I honour this man and his legendary friends, Dele Giwa, Dan Agbese and Yakubu Mohammed, who left indelible marks in the sands of global journalism. I have written quite a bit about them in my book AUDACIOUS JOURNALISM (2018, 706 pages) which is my definition of the brand of journalism that the rare quartet introduced in Nigeria with their iconic Newswatch Magazine.
