Iwere is the second person to head the organisation as Managing Director after the exit of the late Mr. Doyin Mahmoud, who is the founding Managing Director of the paper.
Under Iwere’s management, Daily Independent became newspaper of the year but he was later forced out of the place by a combined force of workers and the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) when the newspaper became indebted to workers for several months.
A reporter with the newspaper who spoke to our correspondent said Iwere’s return could uplift the fortune of the organisation, which is still indebted to workers, which management allegedly wants the workers to write-off.
“He is a workaholic”, the reporter explained.
