Sandra Sopuluchukwu Ezekwesili is a Nigerian broadcast journalist, radio host, brand communications executive, and media personality. She is best known for her role as the former anchor of the "Hard Facts" show on Nigeria Info FM Lagos. In August 2023, she resigned after advancing to the position of Group Brand Manager for Nigeria Info FM stations nationwide within the AIM Group, which owns Cool FM Nigeria, Wazobia FM, and Nigeria Info. Her advocacy for women's rights and issues earned her the Her Network Woman of the Year in Journalism award in 2021.
On March 25, 2020, Ezekwesili made history by becoming the first Nigerian broadcaster to host a talk radio show from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. This action was in compliance with the Lagos State Government's directive[1] for all participants of the 2020 Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) to self-isolate after confirmed COVID-19 cases were reported among attendees, including Ezekwesili herself.
Ezekwesili is also an outspoken feminist.
