Born on July 2, 1941, Adaba made significant contributions to the development of Nigeria’s broadcasting industry and was widely respected for his role in shaping media regulation in the country.
Confirming his passing, Chief Adinoyi Joe Anivasa JP, Secretary of the Egbira Elders Forum in Abuja, expressed deep sorrow over the loss.
“I feel sad to inform you that our elder and leader, Prof Tom A. Adaba just answered the call of nature by giving up his ghost to the Lord this morning.
“Further details about his burial arrangements would be communicated later.
“We thank God for his life. May God have mercy on his shortcomings and grant his soul eternal peaceful rest in His Heavenly Kingdom, Amen,” he stated.
Throughout his distinguished career, Adaba held several key positions and played a vital role in advancing communication education in Africa. Between 1988 and 1992, he became the first Nigerian to serve as president of the African Council for Communication Education, a testament to his influence in the field.
As tributes continue to pour in, his legacy remains firmly rooted in Nigeria’s media landscape, where he contributed immensely to policy formulation and regulatory frameworks that shaped modern broadcasting in the country.
