The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has expressed shock and disbelief over the death of the editor of the Port Harcourt-based The Tide Newspaper, Juliet Ejiowhor.
Mrs Njiowhor died on Saturday during a brief illness.
She was a two-term Standing Committee member representing the Eastern Zone.
The late Njiowhor was at the 2021 NGE Convention in Kano where she contested for the position of treasurer.
“Her death has robbed the Guild of a committed member who never missed any of its events since joining the organization,” Mustapha Isah, NGE president, said in a statement.
Njiowhor’s death came shortly after that of a former deputy president of the Guild, Elder Esinjo Oqua Itu, in Calabar.
“The Guild takes solace in the fact that Mrs Njiowhor served humanity with diligence in her sojourn here on Earth.
“We extend our condolences to her husband and children as well as the management and staff of The Tide newspaper and the people and government of Rivers State.
“May her soul rest in the bosom of the Lord,” the NGE president said, adding that a condolence register had been opened at the Editors’ House, 24, Mojidi Street, Ikeja for the deceased.
