On behalf of the entire Management and Staff of Voice of Nigeria, I am profoundly moved by the outpouring of heartfelt messages, calls, and visits received following the passing of our dear sister and colleague, Rafatu Onyeche Salami.
The extraordinary expressions of love and tributes from within the Corporation, across the media and journalism industry, the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, and other stakeholders—both within and beyond Nigeria—are a testament to the enduring impact Hajiya Rafatu had on so many lives. Her contributions will remain etched in the annals of history.
We are especially grateful to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his compassionate condolence message and to the Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, FNIPR, for his unwavering support and kind words. It is worth noting that Rafatu served with distinction as the Secretary of the Minister’s Committee during Nigeria’s hosting of the International Press Institute (IPI).
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to IPI Nigeria, the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), the National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) and the Al-Habibiya Islamic Society for their steadfast support and solidarity during this difficult time. May Allah reward you all abundantly.
In Voice of Nigeria, we will cherish her memory always and continue to honour her legacy. We join hands in praying for her eternal rest and encourage everyone to keep her and her family in their prayers.
Mallam Jibrin Baba Ndace, MNIPR
