This time last month, history was made in Abuja as the first edition of the Progressives Digital Media Summit was held at the state house.
It was a success because y’all were a great part of it all.
Thank you and stay tuned 👀⏳.
“The fact that policymakers and drivers of governancewere present to listen to these alternative perspectives, and sometimes even partake in the discourse, was a remarkable win for the @DigiSummit25_. The ultimate goal was to significantly improve how responsible use of digital media tools and platforms by communicators and those in government can contribute to rapid national development” - @tobbiematthew DG @PBATMediaCentre

The 2-day Progressives Digital Media Summit in Abuja united Nigeria’s top digital communicators to tell the true story and celebrate unity in diversity.
With President Tinubu in attendance, the summit bolstered faith in his leadership and renewed hope for our nation’s digital future.

A Guiding Light at 37: Celebrating the Enduring Legacy of @DOlusegun
By Wale Adedayo
Today, as the calendar turns to mark his 37th birthday, the world celebrates not just a man, but a movement.
Tributes from every corner of the nation are pouring in for Dada Olusegun, the Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, and each one tells a story of a life touched, a dream ignited, and a path illuminated. For someone who began from a modest background, his rise in Nigeria's political space isn't just a testament to ambition—it's a powerful narrative of resilience, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to others.
Segun's influence is rooted in an almost magical ability to connect with people. He isn't just a leader; he's a brother, a mentor, and a confidant to countless young Nigerians who see in him a reflection of their own aspirations. His charisma is undeniable, but it's his integrity and his tireless effort to carry everyone along that have earned him their trust.
The recently concluded @DigiSummit25_ wasn't just an event; it was a testament to his unique genius—a space he created where diverse voices converged, proving that unity isn't a political slogan, but a tangible, achievable goal.
To understand the depth of his impact, one must look back at the 2023 presidential campaign. In a political climate charged with skepticism, particularly among the youth who had every reason to doubt, Segun stood as a beacon. He spearheaded the digital media campaign through the @PBATMediaCentre, now a historical landmark. In a field where many "sorosokes" were resistant to change, he demonstrated an incredible blend of resilience and determination. He didn't just manage a campaign; he mobilized a generation, proving that with the right leadership, a tough field can be transformed into a fertile ground for victory. His efforts were nothing short of legendary, forever etched in the history books of Nigerian politics.
His expertise in the digital terrain is a force of nature. It’s no wonder that Garba Shehu, former spokesperson to late President Muhammadu Buhari, once remarked that the APC has never lost an election with Segun as part of its media team.
@officialABAT himself, in a moment of profound recognition, described him as “vibrant,” a single word that encapsulates his energy, his intellect, and his unshakeable spirit. He excels not just in his role, but in every facet of his life, transforming challenges into opportunities and whispers into roars.
Perhaps the most touching aspect of Segun's legacy is the profound trust he inspires. For many young Nigerians, the choice is clear: they would rather face adversity with him by their side than align with oppressors, no matter the promise of wealth. This is not just loyalty; it is a deep-seated belief in his leadership and a testament to his ability to give others a voice and a seat at tables they never expected to reach. His gift for creating opportunities and uplifting others is unparalleled within the progressive fold.
Remembering his experience at the 2022 @OfficialAPCNg National Convention, where he was asked to step down for Hon. Dayo Isreal, many would have seen it as a crushing blow. But not Segun. He saw it as a detour, not an end. That moment, which could have ruined a lesser man's career, instead became a launchpad. He has since moved in leaps and bounds, proving to everyone that he is in a better position today than he could have ever been as a National Youth Leader.
At just 37, Dada Olusegun is more than an assistant to the President; he is the face of a new generation of progressives. His journey is a powerful reminder that with integrity, empathy, and unwavering faith, anything is possible. The future is incredibly bright for him, and as he continues to climb, he will undoubtedly bring countless others along with him, turning his personal triumphs into collective victories. Happy 37th birthday, a guiding light for so many.
