In celebration of its Diamond Jubilee, the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has conferred the prestigious Veteran Sports Journalist Award on Phemmy Adetula, in recognition of his exceptional contribution to sports journalism and development in Nigeria.
Phemmy Adetula’s illustrious career began in the early 1990s with Sunray Newspaper. He later joined Mastersports International as Producer of the popular Sports Extra on Africa Independent Television (AIT), before moving to SuperSport Nigeria as a Content Producer. In 2018, his leadership and dedication earned him election as Board Member and Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC).
In his remarks, Adetula who currently serves as Special Adviser on Sports to the APC National Youth Leader expressed deep appreciation to the leadership of SWAN for the honour, describing it as a humbling recognition of decades of passion and service to sports journalism.
“This honour means a lot to me. I sincerely thank the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria for finding me worthy among so many outstanding colleagues. This gesture will continue to inspire me to give back even more to my colleagues and the sporting community,” he said.
He dedicated the award to his family, colleagues, and to all sports journalists who have passed on, noting that their shared commitment continues to shape the growth of Nigerian sports media.
