Chief Segun Olusola was one of Nigeria’s earliest television producers. In the area of broadcasting, he created a well-regarded programme, The Village Headmaster, which was adjudged the longest running television drama serial until it was rested.  In the deliberate effort to promote an industry reward system, he was one of the earliest trustees of D.A.M.E. He also endowed a prize for Television Drama in memory of his first wife, Elsie Olusola, an acclaimed actor and broadcaster in her own right.

A former ambassador to Ethiopia and the Organisation of African Union, he founded Africa Refugees Foundation, promoted the Ajibulu Moniya Gallery, and supported various causes in the arts.  

It is refreshing recalling his words at the 2^nd DAME in December 1993: “Those who are privileged to be professionals in the media must regard their calling as caretakers of a publicly owned resource. It is a sacred trust, for which dedication, sustained training and public accountability are indispensable.”
