Just like Yesterday... Ladi Lawal of DAAR Communications is Remembered today

Today marks the 3rd year remembrance of late Uncle, Ladi Lawal, (Fmr GMD Daar comm. Plc).

Ladi was an exemplary man. If you had ever come across him during his lifetime, you would know that he was an exemplary man, an all round leader. He knew how to use men and materials to achieve a pre determined goal. He was a consummate thinker. The nation has lost an illustrious son. His death is a national loss.

Born 1955, Ladi Lawal attended the Lagos City College between 1969 and 1973, and the Kwara State College of Technology between 1976 and 1978 where he obtained a Diploma in Secretarial Studies. He later obtained a certificate in Reporting from the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Lagos, in 1978.

In 2000, Ladi proceeded to the Lagos State University (LASU) from where he obtained a degree in History in 2005.

He worked with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) from 1978 to 1993 and joined DAAR Communications Plc as Director of News, Ray Power 100.5FM (1994-1996).

Ladi became the General Manager in 1999 and later the Chief Operations Officer, DAAR Communications plc (2001-2005). He was the Executive Director, Operations, (2005-2006), and later Managing Director in December 2006. Miss u uncle ladi. Keep resting.
