A special tribute event honoring the legacy and impact of the late Chief Dan Agbese, whose work and contributions shaped Nigerian journalism, will hold on December 15, 2025.

The tribute, titled “The Dan Agbese Standard: A Celebration of Love and Excellence,” will take place at Whitestone Event Place, No. 3 Billingsway Road, Oregun, Ikeja.

Media professionals, family and friends will share stories and memories in celebration of Agbese’s life and legacy.

Agbese passed away on November 17, 2025. During his career of over 50 years in journalism, he was known for his courageous, sharp, and witty publications, and an unwavering commitment to ethical and professional journalism in Nigeria. His editorial and entrepreneurial leadership also helped in establishing new standards of accountability and excellence in investigative journalism in and outside Nigeria.

His daughter, Dr. Aje-Ori Agbese, said, “This tribute is not just a celebration of his life. It is an opportunity for us to say goodbye in a positive way. My father touched many lives and minds through his work. But outside of his work, he was deeply committed to making people’s lives better through various personal and community projects. He was a very kind, playful and caring man. I think he should be remembered with joy.”
