Shocking departure of Rafatu Salami: Thunderbolt on journalism by Dimeji Kayode-Adedeji - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

I still find it difficult to believe sudden demise of Rafatu Salami.  I first came in physical contact with her when I joined International Press Institute (IPI), Nigeria. Before then, we had never met, but only knew our names while practicing journalism

That our maiden meeting was at the 3-day conference of International Press Conference (IPI), in October 2024, held in Government Reservation Area (GRA), Ikeja axis of Lagos State and I can attest to the proactive nature of Rafat, which I admired, as she was up and doing to ensure a successful outing. That skills coupled with her accommodating nature made us to be professionally close.
