LEADERSHIP reports that Prof. Adaba passed away on Saturday at the age of 83.

A statement signed by the State’s Commissioner of Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, on behalf of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, noted late Adaba’s trailblazing contributions to Nigeria’s media landscape.

According to him, “Prof. Adaba’s legacy is marked by groundbreaking achievements. He was one of the first Nigerians to earn a Doctorate in Mass Communication, setting a high standard for academic excellence in the field. His visionary leadership was evident during his tenure as the Principal of the Nigerian Television College, Jos, and as the inaugural Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission. His work not only transformed the media industry but also laid a strong foundation for ethical journalism and responsible broadcasting across the nation.”

The Kogi State Government further described Prof. Adaba as “a media colossus, patriot, and a distinguished Nigerian” whose wisdom and dedication left an indelible mark on the country. The government extended heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire media community, urging that his legacy be remembered as a beacon of inspiration.
