She also expressed gratitude to all banks, institutions and companies that have advertised on the Realnews website over the past 14 years.
“Without their support, we would not have remained in business all through the years to do what we love most - investigative journalism.”
The theme of Realnews's 14th anniversary lecture is “Geopolitical Turbulence and Energy Security: Forging strategic opportunities for Africa.”
Dr. Omar Farouk Ibrahim will deliver the lecture to be chaired by Engr. Debo Fagbami, Managing Director, FNSE, NEDO Gas Development Company (NEDOGAS).

Chigbo, the publisher of Realnews, said that the speakers will be inducted into the prestigious Realnews Hall of Fame immediately after the lecture. Chigbo explained that the Realnews Hall of Fame was established to honour only those who played key roles during the anniversary lectures.
Realnews, a general interest magazine, is an online publication that thrives on investigative journalism. “We have expertise in reporting on the oil and gas sector with its attendant environmental challenges. We aim to unearth exclusive stories about real people and the challenges they face in their day-to-day activities. We do this bearing in mind that the government can only act to influence the lives of people positively if they are aware of their true situation. Hence, our objective is to use our investigative skills to ferret out information in the sectors we focus on and produce an unbiased report that will influence the government and decision-makers to take actions that will make society better,” RealNews said in the press release.
Populated by seasoned journalists who believe strongly in the tenets and ethics of the profession, the online publication believes that journalism as the fourth Estate of the Realm, can contribute its quota towards building a fair and just society where fundamental human rights are respected, and citizens have the freedom to pursue their interests anywhere in the world without hindrance. Its editors have a combined experience of several decades in active journalism practice and are highly dedicated to serving humanity. Hence, its motto: “For God and Humanity.”
The press statement further explains that the Realnews Anniversary Lecture Series was established to commemorate our society's best minds and tap into them to enrich the discourse on national development.
Dr. Musa Adamu, SAN, Chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (2025), delivered the 13th edition of the lecture on “Cybersecurity, Illicit Financial Flows and Achieving Agenda 2063 in Africa,” among others.
