 The family of the former director general of the Federal Corporation of Nigeria, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Mr. Ben Ebuna, organized a review of a book he wrote in Lagos, the non-fiction book titled A Destiny Fulfilled, written by Mr. Ebuna himself before his demise is his autobiography. The event had in attendance the wife of the author Betty Ebuna, the former director general of the Nigeria Television Authority and TA, Sholam Uli and a host of others. Our correspondent, Paul George, was there. It is a feeling of nostalgia as family, friends and colleagues gather at a book review in honor of the former director general of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FLCN, Mr. Ben Ebuna, who passed in January 2021. Chronicling the life and times of the former DJ and author are his family and friends. His wife, Betty Ebuna, recounts with laughter a moment the husband chose radio as his first love. As the first son, Uche Ebuna is thankful his father left a legacy. There's something you always say that we say that no amount of money can buy a good day. Only the works of your hands. I think I'm correct. So, and I read it by that, and I call it, I think I've always said that our father is our first mentor and he's still, even this time, he's still our first mentor in our room with him. So, we are, we're happy at the family and we're grateful for everyone that's come here today to show support and space to all about that. Mr. Ebuna's friend and one-time colleague, a former DJ of NTA, Shola Omoli, eulogizes him. If you're honest, you put the best person in the position and you allow him to do his job, Ben was just an excellent individual. He just wanted everything done right, no matter who you are. And that's the spirit everybody ought to have, because that's the way they train us in NBC in those days, reading Nigeria. If I was going to read the news, I had to be at the best of my game. If I didn't do it well, the bosses would come down hard on me. So, they brought us up well and Ben imbibed those lessons and put them in practice every single day. That's what we ought to be doing. Other colleagues pay glowing tribute. Ben was an engaging, strict upright individual. His professional work helped to shape public broadcasting in Nigeria. For over 35 years, he helped to shape two of Nigeria's major public institutions in the media, Radio Nigeria and Voice of Nigeria. This man's life was an adventure, an adventure worth reading. I wanted to go for a fellowship and people here in Lagos, the Lagos office said no, there's a ban on people going for fellowship. And I tried and tried and then somebody said, well, if we can go to Abuja and talk to the Digi, maybe. But I went and I saw him and he launched. He just debunked all that I heard in Lagos and there was nothing like that. He didn't say that. And so he asked me, what do you want? And I said, I needed an endorsement for my application and he gave it to me. You know, so I'll never forget. That's where I got certified as a media trainer. A lot of people believe that success is something you step into. But this is somebody that by dint of hard work, brilliance, extreme intelligence and dedication and perseverance was able to rise from an atrani news person and assistant news person all the way through the ranks to the director general. And I can tell you it wasn't an accidental thing. His friends, family and colleagues all believe that Ben Eguna may have shared his earthly vessel, but his soul lives on in his great work.
