Senate
President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Sunday, congratulated Mrs.
Funke Egbemode, on her reelection as the President of the Nigeria Guild
of Editors
(NGE), during the guild's Biennial Convention in Lagos.
Saraki,
in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph
Olaniyonu, in Abuja, noted that the choice of Egbemode, who is the
Managing Director
and Editor-in-Chief, New Telegraph Newspapers, is a clear testimony
that she has successfully justified the confidence reposed in her by her
colleagues in the past year.
Saraki
said: "I can only admonish her to work harder to extend the frontiers
of her achievements as the President of the NGE. Her return unopposed is
a fitting
tribute to the fact that her contributions have been recognized. As
they say: "the reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more."
He also lauded the NGE for the peaceful and transparent elections while urging the body to
collaborate with the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and other
critical stakeholders to rid the journalism profession of quacks and
impostors whose activities daily undermine the credibility of the true
professionals.
