Tinubu Celebrates Nigerian Press Council Boss Dili Ezughah at 65, Hails His Contributions to Journalism.

President Bola Tinubu has sent warm felicitations to the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Press Council (NPC), Dr Dili Ezughah, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, praising his decades of service to journalism, public communication and national development.

In a congratulatory message signed by the Presidential Spokesperson, the President described Ezughah as a thorough professional whose career stands as a testament to the enduring values of dedication, hard work and service to the nation. He noted that the celebrant's commitment to the growth of the Nigerian press has been exemplary, particularly his efforts at promoting professionalism, ethical conduct and responsibility within the media industry.

President Tinubu specifically commended Ezughah for his work in strengthening the standards and ethics that underpin a credible press, stressing that the media remains a critical institution of democracy. According to the President, as Nigeria continues to deepen its democratic institutions, the role of a professional, ethical and responsible media cannot be overemphasised.

He said the NPC Executive Secretary's 65th birthday offers an opportunity not only to celebrate a personal milestone but also to honour his contributions to the development of Nigeria's media landscape.

"Through your service at the Nigeria Press Council and your broader contributions to the media profession, you have continued to play a role in strengthening the standards, ethics and responsibilities that underpin a credible press," the President said.

He added that Ezughah has consistently demonstrated commitment to this important national responsibility, urging him to keep flying the flag of professionalism high.

Wishing him renewed strength, wisdom and good health, President Tinubu expressed optimism that Ezughah would continue to contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation and the advancement of the Nigerian press.

The congratulatory message reflects the administration's recognition of the media's role in nation building and its appreciation of individuals who have dedicated their careers to upholding the integrity of the press. Dr Ezughah's 65th birthday is therefore not just a personal celebration but a moment for the entire journalism community to acknowledge one of its own who has served with distinction.
