For decades, Kayode Akintemi has been a pillar of integrity in African broadcasting. His journey is a testament to the belief that it is not life that matters, but the courage you put into it. From his influential years at Channels TV, where he served as General Manager of Operations, he became a voice of authority and a guardian of journalistic standards.
The Trial of the Visionary
True courage is found when one steps out of the familiar into the unknown. When Kayode “floated” his own station, Plus TV Africa, he embraced the sorrows and tribulations that come with building a legacy from the ground up. He faced the storms of entrepreneurship—the “endurance that demands courage”—and though the path was fraught with the typical trials of a pioneer, he never wavered in his commitment to the truth.
The Resilience of a Leader
His time as an Executive Director at Arise TV served as a reminder of his indispensable value to the industry. Like gold refined in the fire, he returned to the forefront of African media with a vision more focused than ever.
The Pinnacle: News Central TV
Today, as the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of News Central TV, Kayode Akintemi stands at the helm of one of Africa’s fastest-growing news platforms. His appointment is the culmination of a life lived with grit. Under his leadership, News Central has become a beacon for fearless reporting and investigative journalism, proving that the trials of the past were simply the preparation for this momentous present.
“Blessed are the trials and tribulations, for they are the making of a man.”
We salute Kayode Akintemi—not just for the titles he holds, but for the scars of endurance he wears with honor. He has proven that when you put courage into life, life eventually yields to your vision.
