Aigbogun will turn 70 on Sunday, November 1. Tinubu issued his congratulatory message on Saturday in a statement personally signed by him.

The President described Aigbogun as a distinguished journalist and media entrepreneur whose work had helped shape public discussion on business and the economy.

I commend him for his commitment to responsible journalism and for providing a platform for insightful analysis of economic policies, investment opportunities, and developments that shape Nigeria’s business environment, Tinubu said.

Business reporting, he noted, can provide readers with analysis of policy choices and changes in the economic environment.

Beyond reporting, publishers help sustain platforms for public information and analysis, while navigating changes in the media industry and the demands of maintaining responsible journalism.

Tinubu said Aigbogun’s work had been significant in establishing credible business reporting as a tool for national development.

The President’s remarks focused on the publisher’s professional contributions and the role of informed coverage in shaping discussion about Nigeria’s economic prospects.

Aigbogun’s 70th birthday falls on Sunday, with Tinubu’s message arriving a day before the milestone.

The President’s congratulatory note adds to tributes expected to mark the journalist and publisher’s career.

BusinessDay has become a prominent source of business and economic news in Nigeria. Its reporting and analysis cover developments that affect both the private sector and public institutions, including policy decisions, market activity and opportunities for investment.
