President Bola Tinubu has praised BusinessDay founder and publisher, Frank Aigbogun, for his contributions to journalism and economic reporting as he prepares to mark his 70th birthday on November 1.

In a congratulatory message issued on Saturday, Tinubu described Aigbogun as an influential media entrepreneur whose work has helped shape discussions on Nigeria’s economy and business environment.

The President commended the publisher for promoting responsible journalism and providing a platform for informed discussions on government economic policies, investment opportunities and developments in the business sector.

He noted that credible business reporting remained important to national development, particularly as Nigeria continues to implement economic reforms.

Tinubu also encouraged Aigbogun and other experienced media professionals to remain actively involved in strengthening the country’s institutions and advancing business journalism.

According to the President, their experience and contributions would remain valuable in supporting Nigeria’s institutional development at a critical stage of its economic transformation.

Aigbogun established BusinessDay in 2001 as a daily newspaper focused on business and financial reporting. Over the years, the publication has expanded its coverage to include economic analysis, investment developments and government policies.

Tinubu wished the media executive good health, renewed strength and further achievements as he enters a new decade of his life.
