Ogienagbon noted that the foundation will “enable us to go beyond the daily grind of breaking and reporting the news. It will afford us the opportunity to dig deeper into stories, events and other activities that are the essence of human values in a world that has become a global village through advanced technology,”

He added: “Our job is not made easy by the many conflicts and crises, hunger, health and climate challenges across the world, especially in developing economies.

“We are ready for these challenges in order to mitigate them for the world to be a better place to live in. We have carefully chosen our objectives to reflect many of the challenges that plague the world.

“Some of our core areas of focus are environment, gender discrimination, out-of-school children, poverty index, neglected impoverished communities in rural and urban areas, capacity building, campaign for adequate policies/laws to govern the aforementioned structures.

“We are resolved to pursue these objectives with vigour and a single minded purpose so as to promote inclusivity, equality and good quality of life for the peoples of the world everywhere.”
