THISDAY, Nigeria’s foremost newspaper of record, is 30 years on the news stands today.
To mark the occasion, it has already set out to honour some of the nation’s ‘Tough and Resilient’ persons and institutions in selected fields of endeavours on Monday, January 27.
The presentation of first awards is set to begin in Davos, Switzerland tomorrow.
Arguably Nigeria’s most influential and innovative print media, THISDAY first started publication as a weekly on January 22, 1995, before quickly transforming into a daily newspaper barely two months later.
In its three decades of trailblazing and robust journalism, THISDAY has without doubt shattered the myths and norms associated with newspaper production and publishing in the country.
Indeed, it has, in no small measure, changed the face of the newspapering industry during that period, including pioneering the now famous colour printing and back page columns.
Till date, THISDAY remains the preferred newspaper among the business, political and diplomatic elite, and has for many years been one of the most recognisable brands locally and internationally.
Thus, to celebrate this milestone, THISDAY recently invited nominations for various categories of nominees for its awards ceremony billed for next Monday, tagged: “When the Going Gets Tough… the Tough Gets Rewarded!”
