The gubernatorial candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Ogun State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, was amongst distinguished Nigerians who graced the commissioning of a media resource centre at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) Ogba Lagos yesterday.

The 350-seat Kesington Adebutu Media Resource Centre/Auditorium was a philanthropic gesture from one of Nigeria’s leading entrepreneurs, and philanthropist, and is set to help advance the course of journalism training and practice in the country.

Ajadi who is also an alumnus of the institution, came in a powerful delegation of NNPP stalwarts and stayed through the ceremony.

He told our correspondent that he had to shelve every other engagement to join other prominent Nigerians in the epoch-making event, and praised the efforts of the NIJ in producing quality manpower for integrated media practice in Nigeria and abroad.

The politician cum industrialist said the active engagement of NIJ products across the media spectrum, has remained a testament of the robust curriculum and impactful delivery in the school.
