As BusinessDay Nigeria clocks 25, a real estate business strategist and entrepreneur has submitted a new challenge to the newspaper.
My-ACE China, known as the Mayor of Housing, said in his note of felicitation that the ‘Voice of Business’ must help Nigerian business environment to transform from gloom to bloom. He said: “BusinessDay can report all the negative happenings in business but must be able to infuse a positive hope and direction in the news so that there is a bloom in the gloom of every news item for BusinessDay.”
Speaking further, the Mandela Leadership Award winner said at 25, BusinessDay has emerged as the biggest business newspaper in Africa. “My advice for BusinessDay in their silver jubilee year is to become the silver lining. Though for this 25 years, BusinessDay has been the voice of business accuracy, the voice of business certainty, and the voice of business projection in Africa, my challenge for them at this 25th year is to become the silver lining.”
He said the world is tired of constant negative news, and that the world wants to see positive direction and policy directions that show there is hope. “So, instead of just reporting circumstances and business news as it is, BusinessDay has come a long way and has become an authority in business. So, in your reportage, you should act your own authority opinion, advisory, and direction that always form the silver lining in every news story so those reading BusinessDay do not just read the doom and gloom but that BusinessDay, after reporting whatever negativity, is able to infuse a positive hope and direction.
