Laolu Akande who will now be setting the stage for public discussions on TV screen, has had a stellar career in Journalism for the past three decades.

Akande’s career in Journalism started in 1989 when he joined the Guardian newspaper as a reporter. He worked with The News and Tempo newspapers as a senior writer, until he joined the Nigerian Tribune in 1995 as a Special Projects Editor and later became the Editor of the Tribune on Saturday title, furthering his career in the oldest newspaper in Nigeria, making him the youngest newspaper editor at the time.

From there, Akande later left the country for the United States, where he worked with Newsday as an Assistant Editor. He was also a Fellow of the Tribune Minority Editorial Training Program, METPRO. In 2004, he founded Empowered Newswire, a New York-based independent news agency reporting on Nigerian and African news from the US and North America.

Akande is regarded as the only Nigerian journalist to have interviewed a sitting American President in the White House when he interviewed former US President George W. Bush, at a White House African Reporters Roundtable.

He has also interviewed eminent personalities, including billionaire Bill Gates, and former US President Donald Trump amongst others. Akande has also been featured as a guest on several international radio and TV programmes in the United States and Europe.

The journalist is bringing his wealth of knowledge and experience to the table on Channels TV, the programme that is set to the screen.

Akande’s sharp intellect, astute observation skills and ability to dissect complex political matters and communicate them in a way that resonates with viewers are his greatest assets that would be brought to the fore.

In an era where media bias is a prevalent concern, Nigerians expect the TV show to deliver objective reporting that is free from personal or political agendas and at the same foster an environment of open dialogue and promote healthy debate.
