The Northern Media Forum, (NMF), has said that Nigeria’s media industry is now poorer with the death of the Publisher and Chairman of Leadership newspaper, Sam Nda Isaiah, who passed on last weekend.
The Forum, according to an issued statement yesterday, signed by its Chairman, Dan Agbese, described Sam Nda Isaiah as “a media entrepreneur, passionate and authoritative writer, a colossus that bestrode the media world , whose exit and voice will be missed in the industry and in the country”.
“His foray into and vision for the media added so much value to the sector such that the industry is now poorer with his exit. Indeed, he spoke truths to power and made those in authority uncomfortable. He was audacious and forceful in his approach, which stood him out among the rest”, it further stated.
The NMF enjoined his immediate family and the media to take solace in the legacy he left behind and prayed that God grants them comfort and give them the strength to bear the huge loss.
