Samuel Ibiyemi, the publisher of Nigerian NewsDirect, has died. Ibiyemi died on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, at Babcock Teaching Hospital in Ilisan, Ogun State, following a protracted fight with Pulmonary Embolism (Blood Clots).
His colleague, Sulaiman Salau, a Guardian newspaper journalist, announced this, stating that the seasoned energy journalist died on Tuesday.
“It’s very sad and unfortunate that we lost Dr Samuel Ibiyemi today.” “Rest in peace, his soul!” Salau wrote.
Ibiyemi, a former Nigerian Tribune business editor, was the defunct Financial Standard’s energy editor. He had earlier expressed optimism in his farewell message to the Team Lead of Platforms Africa, Adeola Yusuf, that he would survive the illness.
“APPRECIATION: Happy new month and sincere gratitude for contributing to my Medical support for the treatment of Pulmonary Embolism (Blood clots) at Babcock Teaching Hospital, Ilisan. To the glory of God, I am alive even though I am still on admission after the fourth surgery.
“As you sacrificed your resources to keep me alive, may the divine power of God keep you alive to do the greatest exploit that will make you and your family never beg. The Bible says in “Psalm 3vs 8 That salvation belongs to the Lord and his blessing is upon his people” God will save your soul from attacks by evil people and bless you abundantly.
“You will not become an object of mockery. You will live Long. Thanks and God bless you greatly. Dr Samuel Ibiyemi Publisher Nigerian NewsDirect (Daily newspaper).”
