“Since your inaugural issue in July 1983, The Guardian, nurtured for greatness through your late husband, Uncle Alex’s vision and enterprise, has become an indispensable part of the nation’s fabric and trusted source of news and information.

“Speaking truth to power, civilian or military, your star-studded team of exceptional journalists and staff have fearlessly tackled important matters, shining a spotlight on issues of national significance.

“Your investigative reporting has exposed corruption, advocated for justice, and given voice to the voiceless. You have celebrated milestones, covered momentous events, and navigated complex issues with utmost precision, all the while upholding the highest standards of journalism.

“We are immensely grateful to you Aunty Maiden, the Alex Ibru family and The Guardian management for your support to our family over the years and our various business and philanthropic affairs. Congratulations once again.”
