Dapo Olorunyomi is set to receive the AMDF Lifetime Achievement Award, a recognition reserved for veteran journalists and media professionals who have made lasting contributions to the continent's media landscape.
The award specifically honours careers built around development journalism, public discourse, and ethical reporting in Africa, placing it among the more purposeful industry honours on the calendar.
For a journalist of Olorunyomi's standing, the recognition raises a natural question: what does a life spent holding power to account actually look like, and who gets to define its legacy?
