The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) House is now underway
for commissioning this Thursday, October 6, this year, in Ikeja-Lagos, reports ITRealms.
The National Publicity Secretary of NGE, Mr. Ken Ugbechie
confirmed this to ITRealms, saying that the secretariat is making a debut over 50
years after the foundation of the Guild to serve as the permanent office of the
NGE which is the highest professional body of Nigerian editors in the print,
electronic and online media.
The event, he said, would hold at 24, Mojidi Street, off
Toyin Street, Ikeja, which is the address of the secretariat.
He also disclosed that the Governor of Borno State, Kashim
Shettima, will be the Special Guest of Honour, while the Lagos State Governor,
Akinwunmi Ambode and Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed will
play the roles of host governor and host minister respectively.
Also, he said, former Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel
Uduaghan, who played a prominent role during the fund-raiser for the
secretariat will chair the occasion which will also have in attendance other
dignitaries including captains of industry, public office holders as well as
professionals and business people.
ITRealms recollects that on April 2014, the Guild had organised
a fund-raiser for the building of a befitting secretariat.
This, the Guild President, Mrs. Funke Egbemode, was quoted as
saying, facilitated the acquisition of a secretariat for the Guild, which she
described as a milestone in the history of the highest professional body in
Nigerian journalism.
She, therefore specifically thanked the past leaders of the
Guild for their vision and for working hard to realise the dream of a permanent
office for the Guild. Just as, she enjoined all past presidents of the Guild, fellows
and members to turn out en masse to grace the epochal occasion.
