The Nigerian Guild of Editors has conferred Fellowship Award on the acting Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria, Chief Jide Adebayo.
This was contained in a letter signed by the General Secretary of the Guild, Isaac Ighure, conveying the decision of the Guild to the honouree.
The letter said that it was part of the Guild’s efforts to accord recognition to “editors who have distinguished themselves: in the journalism profession.
It said the decision to honour Adebayo, along with some other senior editors, including the immediate past NAN Editor-in-Chief, Segun Aribike, was taken at a recent meeting of the NGE’s Standing Committee.
“A committee set up this year to identify personalities who have made a mark in the profession, selected you as one of its fellows,” the letter stated.
The investiture, according to the letter, is scheduled for Saturday in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
Adebayo, whose journalism career spanned more than 30 years, was at different occasions Commissioner for Information as well as Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Culture in Kwara State.
