In 2018, Alonge was made the Head of Editorial and Editor-in-Chief and along with the other content directors led the Quality Initiative project in the RADP active markets. The Quality Content Initiative has ensured that Pulse produces true, insightful, entertaining, innovative content, on time.

“I have always chosen opportunities, especially with my career, that will help propel myself to positions that will further my ambition while supporting the development of youth culture and empowering people and businesses. RADP helped me achieve this and I’m grateful. I look forward to the challenges that come with the new position and the opportunities it avails me to learn and work towards attaining the company’s goals, whilst making life easier for Nigerians,” says Osagie Alonge.

To ensure Pulse continues to provide relevant, entertaining, and relatable content for its audience in their various markets, Pulse has announced three Editors-In-Chief in its three biggest African markets.
