The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Mohammed Idris, on Tuesday unveiled a book entitled Footprints in Broadcasting to mark the 80th birthday anniversary of a former Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Chief Taiwo Alimi.

Idris was represented by Mr Ahmed Yalwa, Director (North Region), Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria.

The book which centred on Alimi’s journey into broadcasting, was written by Dr Qasim Akinreti, a Deputy Director at VON and former Chairman of Nigeria Union Of Journalists, Lagos State Council.

Idris said that Alimi impacted positively on Nigerians and contributed to the growth of the broadcast industry.

“Aremo is a positive influence on the upcoming ones and those in the industry; so I will urge everyone to read this book.

“A lot needs to be learnt from the book because it contains the challenges and solutions in broadcasting,” he said.

Idris added that media organisation should be more committed to the development of Nigeria’s media industry and avoid bias or influenced reporting.

“I know that experiences shared in this book will help us solve challenges facing broadcasting and other media platforms,” he said.

The book reviewer, Prof. Saheed Timehin, said that the book was a huge resource for students of mass communication.

Timehin, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Foreign Languages, Lagos State University, said that the book was also meant for media professionals, particularly broadcast journalists.

“It will also serve as a motivational volume for managers who seek inspiration, particularly in the areas of networking, policy formulation, talent hunting and self-discipline,” he said.

Former Gov. Gbenga Daniel of Ogun said that Alimi’s successful journey in the world of broadcasting remained a source of inspiration to many.

Daniel described Alimi as an elder statesman and journalism icon.

” I have no doubt that you have written your name with an indelible ink in the annals of broadcasting.

Mr Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to Ogun State Governor, said that Alimi served diligently as a commissioner in Ogun.

Akinmade said that the former VON director-general demonstrated a high level of professionalism, initiating the village square meeting concept to enhance participatory governance.

“His administrative acumen remains unmatched given the task associated with the sensitive agencies he administered,” he said.

Malam Jibrin Ndace, Director-General of VON, said that the celebrator had continued to inspire the younger generation with his passion for broadcasting.

Ndace said that Alimi gave valuable insights into the challenges and growth experienced by VON before, during and after his tenure as the director-general.

“His dedication to the mission and vision of VON is evident in the indelible mark he has on the media industry in Nigeria and Africa.

“Alimi’s legacy serves as a shining example of commitment and excellence in broadcasting.

“His influence continues to inspire future generations of media professionals, his impact will be felt for years to come,” he said.

In his response, Alimi thanked media professionals for support.

According to him, commitment is necessary in broadcasting.

Alimi said that broadcasting and other media platforms were a weapon to tackle insecurity and other challenges in Nigeria.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Alimi was born on Dec. 17, 1944 at Sagamu, Ogun. (NAN)
