The immediate past head of the transport desk and Production Editor (Business) at the Punch Nigeria Limited, Rasheed Bisiriyu, has emerged an overall winner of the 2019 edition of the annual Toyota Nigeria Limited’s awards for journalists.

Bisiriyu, now editor-in-chief of an online news platform, News Trends, was on Friday October 09 presented with the award along with two other winners, Theodore Opara (Vanguard newspapers) and Mike Ochonma (Businessday), who were declared the first and runner-up respectively.

Managing Director of the TNL, Mr Kunle Ade-Ojo, who presented the awards to the winners at the company’s head office in Lekki, Lagos, commended the journalists for their unique styles of writing.
