President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Bayo Onanuga, his special adviser on information and strategy, on his birthday.

In a statement on Thursday by Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Tinubu described Onanuga, who turned 67, as one of the finest journalists in Nigeria with a string of accomplishments in the media and beyond.

“He was a prominent figure in the pro-democracy struggles in Nigeria and, at various times, had to endure indignities over his progressive beliefs and pursuits,” the statement reads.

“He co-founded TheNews Magazine and was the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of PM News. He also previously served as Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria.
