February 06, (THEWILL) – The year has started on a positive note for award winning writer, Anthony Kanayo Onwordi, also known as Tony Kan. The writer cum Public Relation expert has been appointed as the head, Public Relation of telecommunication giant, Globacom.
Toni resumed work at the Lagos headquarters of the organisation last week and he is fast adapting to his new position. The graduate of English Literature from the University of Jos who graduated top of his class is not only a great writer, he is an award winning one having won several awards including the NDDC/Ken Saro Wiwa literature prize awarded by the Association of Nigeria Authors, ANA in 2009. He has also written some literary works such as, Nights of the Creaking Bed, The Carnivorous City.
This is not the first time the writer would be manning a top managerial position. Prior to joining the telecommunication company owned by Dr Mike Adenuga, Tony had worked with Zenith bank, Bank PHB, Visafone and Ntel. In 2020, the gifted writer was unceremoniously booted out of his spokesperson job to the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, who is a member of the ruling party All Progressives Congress. His sin was that he had strong ties to the opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party and had written damaging articles against APC party chieftains but authored articles in favour of the PDP. Some of the essays against APC chieftains had the following titles: The liability called Bola Tinubu; Ban on AIT, Buhari the dictator is here, among several others.
