Buhari Mourns Complete Sports Publisher, Ojeagbase

Buhari has mourned the death of Complete Sports publisher, Ojeagbase.

Glamtush reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has extended heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and professional associates of founder and Executive Chairman of Complete Communications Ltd, Dr Emmanuel Ojeagbase, whose vision and diligence transformed sports reporting and inspired a generation of media entrepreneurs.

Buhari’s condolence message is contained in a statement signed on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled ‘President Buhari mourns founder of complete sports, Sunny Ojeagbase’.

According to Adesina, “President Buhari commiserates with his wife and longtime business partner, Mrs Esther Ojeagbase, who worked with her husband in publishing, ministry, and charity, bringing out many titles, including Complete Football magazine, Complete Football International, International Soccer Review and Success Digest.

“The President affirms that Ojeagbase, who worked for the Daily Times, Concord newspapers and The Guardian, before pioneering sports news publication in Nigeria, 1984, was also a teacher and preacher of the Word of God, and he lived by the tenets of the Holy Bible, greatly motivating others to grow spiritually and apply the principles of honesty, fairness and integrity in business.”

He, therefore, prayed that the Almighty God would remember the good works of the media entrepreneur and philanthropist and grant his soul eternal rest.
