The Ogun State media landscape is reeling from the sudden loss of Mrs. Bukola Agbakaizu, a veteran broadcaster with Ogun State Television (OGTV), who collapsed and died on Monday, May 12, 2025, while preparing for her afternoon shift. The 52-year-old journalist was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Idi Aba, Abeokuta, where she was pronounced dead, leaving colleagues and the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) in profound grief.

Career and Contributions to Ogun State Media

Agbakaizu’s career spanned decades at OGTV, where she became a respected voice in broadcasting and a mentor to younger journalists. Her dedication extended beyond her professional duties; she served as an ex-officio member of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Ogun State Council and was a longstanding NAWOJ member. Colleagues recall her as a “consummate professional” whose work ethic and compassion set her apart. Her dual roles in NUJ and NAWOJ highlighted her commitment to advancing both journalism standards and gender equality in media.

NAWOJ’s Tribute to a Fallen Icon

In a heartfelt statement, NAWOJ Ogun State Chairperson Comrade Sekinat Salam described Agbakaizu’s death as a “rude shock,” emphasizing the timing of her passing during a period when her leadership was critically needed. “Her wealth of experience and exemplary service were pillars of our association,” Salam noted, underscoring Agbakaizu’s role as a unifying figure who balanced professionalism with maternal warmth. The statement also highlighted her spiritual depth and philanthropic efforts, which extended into community outreach and mentorship programs for aspiring journalists.

Reactions from the Broader Media Community

The news has sparked an outpouring of tributes across Ogun State’s media institutions. OGTV colleagues shared anecdotes of Agbakaizu’s meticulous approach to news production and her willingness to support junior staff. Meanwhile, the NUJ Ogun State Council, which recently commended women journalists for their societal contributions, is expected to issue a formal statement. Agbakaizu’s death follows the loss of other media figures in the state, including Prince Toyin Gbadebo, a retired OGBC deputy general manager who died of cardiac arrest in 2024, underscoring the vulnerabilities facing journalists in high-stress environments.

Health and Safety Concerns in Journalism

While the exact cause of Agbakaizu’s collapse remains undisclosed, her sudden passing has reignited discussions about health challenges within the profession. Long hours, irregular shifts, and emotional tolls are pervasive in broadcasting, yet comprehensive healthcare support for journalists remains inconsistent. The Federal Medical Centre in Idi Aba, where Agbakaizu was taken, has faced scrutiny in recent months following the suicide of a staff member in January 2025, raising questions about workplace mental health resources.

Legacy and Surviving Family

Agbakaizu is survived by two children and a husband, who have requested privacy during this period. NAWOJ’s statement concluded with a prayer for her soul and a call to honor her legacy through continued advocacy for ethical journalism and gender equity. Plans for a public memorial service are pending, with NAWOJ coordinating efforts to celebrate her life and contributions.

Conclusion

Bukola Agbakaizu’s untimely death is a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the urgent need for systemic support for journalists’ well-being. As Ogun State’s media community mourns, her legacy of professionalism, mentorship, and faith will endure, inspiring future generations to uphold the integrity of the pen profession.

This report synthesizes verified details from the provided sources, prioritizing factual accuracy and contextual relevance. For further updates on memorial arrangements, readers are encouraged to follow official NAWOJ communications.
