Citation for Gimalo-Angel Olowogoke, Nominee – Reporter of the Year Nigeria Broadcasting Awards 2025 – Bold. Visionary. Unrelenting.

Gimalo-Angel Olowogoke, Head of Production, Head of Environment Desk, LN247 and Producer/Presenter of SPACE.COM, has redefined environmental journalism in Nigeria with a powerful blend of storytelling, investigation, and visual clarity. 

Through her pioneering reporting across 2025, Gimalo has bridged the gap between complex environmental crises and public consciousness, educating, inspiring, and challenging both policy and perception.

In a year marked by environmental reckoning, Gimalo delivered deeply-researched, internationally relevant episodes and 3 sets of ECO NOTES totaling 52 original graphic explainer cards, fusing journalism with data visualization to amplify critical messages.

Key Episodes Highlighted:

• U.S. Wildfire: Impact on Communities – a sobering look at the human and ecological cost of wildfires in developed nations.

• Land Pollution – unpacked the root causes of pollution with preventive strategies tailored for Nigerian contexts.

• The Legacy of Gold Mining – exposed long-term environmental degradation in extractive regions.

• The Built Environment – 2025 Outlook – a two-part special forecasting infrastructure, sustainability, and urban resilience.

• Elon Musk’s Dubai Loop – introduced audiences to the future of transportation and its implications for African cities.

• Made-in-Nigeria Innovation Special – spotlighted sustainable, local design solutions redefining the Nigerian eco-space.

• Myanmar’s Earthquake – a globally connected human-interest report on natural disaster survival.

• Otedola Bridge Infernos – a bold local investigation into safety failures and recurring tragedies on Nigerian highways.

• Making Nigeria Clean Again – a rousing call-to-action and solutions-driven report on national waste management challenges.

• Future Of Real Estate In Africa: Technology And Digital Evolution

• Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road: The Landmark Beach Demolition Story 

• Makoko Demolition Story: Interaction with stakeholders and residents

Beyond her reporting, Gimalo-Angel was honored as Real Estate Reporter of the Year at the Africa Real Estate Summit & Awards, further affirming her versatility in combining environmental intelligence with infrastructural insight.

Her innovative EcoNotes visual explainers (52+ cards in 2025 alone) simplified climate literacy for mass audiences, making her one of the most trusted environmental voices on screen.

Why She Stands Out:

•  Investigative depth matched with on-the-ground reporting

•  Consistent, thought-provoking presentation style

•  Data-driven storytelling, including custom graphics

•  Commitment to solutions journalism in environmental reporting

•  Global-local perspective with Nigerian relevance

In every frame and every word, Gimalo-Angel Olowogoke shows that journalism is not just about reporting the world — it’s about reshaping it.
