The birthed of REMOVOICE Newspapers on July 27, 1999 wasn't by accidence but with intention to commemorate the 5th years memorial celebration of Dr, Tai Solarin the visioner of Mayflower School, Ikenne -Remo, Ogun State in the Southern part of Nigeria.
The visionary intention of the newspaper was principally to be part of the communication network and resources for the enthronement and entrenchment of Nigerian Democracy.
With human rights activism and sociological studies background of the Publisher and some other supporters in different disciplines, the publication remained steadfast, committed and proactive in different community programmes.
The newspaper was launched on 2002 at Hotel De Eskay, along Sagamu ---Benin Expressway, Sagamu--Remo.
The owner of the hotel, Asiwaju Solomon Kayode Onafowokan, the Asiwaju of Remo Kingdom and the Chairman, Coleman Wires and Cables Limited was the Chief Launcher of the occasion while Late Ambassador Segun Olusola, the Chairman /Founder of African Refugee Foundation Ajibulu Moniya Art Gallery was the Chairman of the historic day.
Some sterling qualities of REMO people such as dynamism,largeness, wisdom, experience education, enterprise, sense of leadership and accommodation pose a great task to the publication with enormous expectations especially when the Founder of The Nigerian Tribune Newspaper, Chief Obafemi Awolowo was also from the federation of Remoland.
The high expectations of people and advertisers in REMOVOICE was very great because of high expectation to be thorough and expected to see Tribune Newspaper as our
frontrunner, inspirator and pathfinder for us to maintain credible, trustworthy and proven professional etiquette and ethics of the publishing enterprise.
The unwavering commitment of engaging in various students leadership programmes in various schools in Remoland earned the publication the opportunity to be the only community newspaper and Tribune Newspaper as the national newspapers represented Nigeria in the 1st African
Anti--Malaria Media Reporting Workshop in November 2006 in Accra, Ghana.
16 African countries represented in the workshop with a mandate after the programme to effectively, efficiently, professionally educate various countries on the dangers, prevention and treatment of malaria that was prevalent then in various African countries.
Professor Ahmed.A. Adedeji who graduated in Pharmacology from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye and a resident of Ikenne was then undergoing his doctorial degree on Malaria in Africa as a lecturer in the Olabisi Onabanjo University facilitated the inclusion of
the newspaper in the locality for his belief in the ideals of the publication with its style of news reportage and concern on many other tasks that would advance the essence of human lives with possible programmes.
In 2009/2010, REMOVOICE Newspaper initiated REMOVOICE PRESS CLUB. as a result of a public lecture delivered by the Editor-in-chief during a Prees Week of Mayflower School, Ikenne facilitated by Mr. Tetteh a Ghanian and Co-- ordinator of the Press Week.
The programme stimulated the newspaper management on the need of various schools to have Press Club or to resuscitate those that were moribund towards guiding the SS 1-3 on the rudiments of communication in their future careers
