Media entrepreneur, Amazon bestselling author and host of the viral talk show #WithChude, Chude Jideonwo, will moderate a major panel session at the forthcoming Daily Times@100 Shaping the Future Town Hall & National Conversation, scheduled for November 3, 2026, at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos. With more than two decades of experience across journalism, television, digital media, storytelling and public discourse, Jideonwo brings to the conversation a rare ability to ask the questions that matter, challenge conventional thinking and draw out the human stories behind national issues.
The Town Hall forms a significant part of the Daily Times Nigeria centenary celebration, marking 100 years since the newspaper was founded in 1926. Built around the theme “Honouring the Past, Shaping the Future,” the gathering will bring together leaders and stakeholders from government, business, media, creative industries and civil society to move beyond commemoration and confront the possibilities ahead for Nigeria. Conversations will explore the country’s development trajectory, human capital, innovation, enterprise and global image, making the event an important platform for ideas, perspectives and practical conversations about the Nigeria of tomorrow.
As moderator, Chude Jideonwo will bring his signature depth, warmth and incisive questioning to the panel, connecting diverse perspectives while keeping the conversation focused on what truly matters. His experience facilitating high-impact conversations, including live panel sessions featuring some of Nigeria’s most prominent voices, makes him particularly suited to a gathering designed to bridge Nigeria’s history with its future.
