The fact that Sanmi Falobi suddenly clocks 50 makes the popular saying, the young shall grow, an obvious truism. Only to add that in his own case, the young has grown well and the impact has been felt and shall still be felt even if he prefers to be a quiet achiever.
I bear testimony to this impact having worked closely with him for about fifteen years now; a period that has seen him progress from the initial position of media monitor to programme associate, to senior programme manager and now project manager of the International Press Centre (IPC), Lagos-Nigeria. The story of the progression is however that of his hardwork, diligence and perseverance for which myself and the management owe him loads of gratitude. It is certainly not an easy accomplishment to come from a background in Estate management to make impactful interventions in the area of media development.

Self-development also defines the Sanmi persona as he never tires of seeking to expand his frontiers of knowledge in such diverse fields as media technologies, public relations, management and publishing. It is commendable in this regard that he’s marking his 50th anniversary with the presentation of a book aptly titled ‘Timeless Lessons From African Proverbs’.
Congratulations Sanmi on this landmark birthday. Thank you for the support and dedication. Happy birthday.
