Speaking on the significance of the event, a representative of The Catholic Herald highlighted the paper’s transformation over the years, from its humble beginnings as a monthly publication to becoming a weekly newspaper. “For many years, The Catholic Herald was the sole organ of information and opinion for the Catholic Church throughout Nigeria. The paper has had its ups and downs, but here we are today, celebrating 100 years of existence,” the statement read.
The inclusion of industrialists like Femi Otedola in the list of honorees reflects the publication’s desire to recognize not just religious leaders but also individuals who have contributed to the nation’s economic and social development. Otedola’s recognition comes as a testament to his philanthropic efforts and business acumen, which have made him a respected figure both in Nigeria and globally.
