The International Press Centre (IPC), Lagos, Nigeria has expressed sadness over the untimely passing of Evelyn Osagie, who until her demise was a Senior Correspondent with The Nation Newspaper.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.
The IPC Executive Director, Mr Lanre Arogundade, in a statement, said, “The death of Evelyn Osagie is a huge loss to the journalism community. She was a renowned journalist, who through her inclusive reports amplified the voice of women across board.”
IPC noted that her journalism was not just reportage but advocacy – driving conversations and inspiring actions.
“We will particularly remember Evelyn for her outstanding contributions at the recent European Union-supported IPC and NAWOJ interface in Port Harcourt on creating an enabling newsroom environment for the inclusive reporting of women’s issues during electoral processes and at elections. She made a number of personal commitments in this regard, while also pledging that her newspaper- The Nation – would be a trailblazer in projecting the voices of female politicians ahead of 2027”, Mr Arogundade stated.
