“Oyediran used her God-given talents, resources and media platforms to emancipate the Yoruba race and Nigerian as a whole.”

“The late Oyediran’s tenure as chairman of the Board of Directors of African Newspapers Plc (publishers of Tribune newspaper), which just began after serving her first tenure witnessed growth in the organization.”
