Femi Adesina's 25-year odyssey in journalism has seen him traversing radio,
television and print media, from a Youth Corps member at LTV 8 in 1986, to a
Current Affairs Officer, Radio Lagos between 1988 and 1989, and Features
Writer, *Vanguard* Newspaper, 1989 to 1991.
In May 1991, he joined *Concord* Press as Senior Staff Writer, rose to become Chief Correspondent, and later Deputy Features Editor. By December 1995, he was promoted Features Editor of *National Concord*. Within the next four years, he became Deputy Editor, and ultimately, Editor, *National Concord*.
With the demise of *Concord* Press after the travails and death of the publisher, Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola, in military detention, Adesina joined the *Nigerian Tribune* as a visiting member of the Editorial Board between May 2001 and September 2002. He was part of the team that set up *The Sun* Newspaper in January 2003. He was pioneer editor of *Daily Sun* between June 2003 and June 2008. Under Adesina's editorship, *Daily Sun* won many reputable media awards, and in 2007, he was named *Editor of the Year*, by the Nigeria Media Merit Award (NMMA). The newspaper also became the nation's highest circulating daily within a few months of hitting the newsstands. In July 2008, he was promoted *Executive Director, Publications*, and *Deputy Managing Director/ Deputy Editor-in-Chief* in January 2010.
