The family of Dr. Ngozi Anyaegbunam, a journalist and media consultant has announced her death. The family, in a statement issued by her son, Rocky Agbese, said she died after a brief illness.

The statement reads:

With gratitude to God for a life well spent, we announce the untimely death of Dr Ngozi Fidelia Anyaegbunam after a brief illness.

A trailblazing journalist who had editorial stints with Champion Newspaper (1st female editor) and The Daily Times (where she authored the book Waziri Ibrahim: Politics Without Bitterness), Ngozi was born in October 1957 at Damaturu in modern day Yobe State to George and Victoria Anyaegbunam.

Subsequent to these, she became a full time media management consultant to numerous blue chip companies.

She also held the distinction of being a female print media journalist to interview two sitting Presidents of Nigeria (Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari).

A dedicated and loving mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and friend, Auntie Ngozi will be sorely missed by all who came across her and were impacted by her larger than life presence.

Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family.
