Mrs. Agbaje-Williams, the first African to be on television, died on Wednesday, February 26, in Ibadan, Oyo State, at the age of 88 years, according to her family.

The veteran broadcaster, who retired from active service in 1986, was born on October 23, 1936.

Chief Agbaje-Williams was a renowned broadcaster who made history by being the first face to appear on the first Television station in Africa, Western Nigerian Television (WNTV), both on the test transmission Night and on the official opening night. She was also the first voice heard on Africa’s first commercial radio station, WNBS.

President Tinubu, in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, praised the pioneering role of Mrs. Agbaje-Williams for inspiring generations of broadcast media professionals.
