President Buahri Celebrates African First Lady Broadcaster Agbaje-williams At 80 by morereb10: 6:30pm On Oct 29, 2016
Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari is celebrating legendary newscaster, presenter and first African female to appear on television, Mrs Anike Agbaje-Williams, on her 80th birthday. In a statement on Saturday, President Buhari joined Williams’ family, friends and the media profession, in celebrating the broadcaster who ruled the industry for more than 30 years.

Known for her sonorous voice, Anike Agbaje-Williams started out early with the first television station in Africa in 1959, Western Nigeria Television (WNTV).

As one of the pioneer African television broadcasters, better known as ‘‘Africa’s First Lady of the Tube’’, the President believes the veteran journalist worked hard to inform, educate and entertain her listeners, and to also sustain the legacy of Chief Obafemi Awolowo who established the WNTV as a ‘‘surrogate teacher’’.

The President commended the quintessential courage and persistent spirit of Williams who constantly pushed herself to improve on her God-given talent until she reached the pinnacle of her career, carting home many awards even after retirement.

President Buhari prayed that the almighty God would grant Williams longer life, good health and more strength in her newfound love of singing in the choir after retirement.
