The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has expressed shock and disbelief over the death of Mrs. Juliet Ejiowhor, editor of the Port Harcourt-based The Tide Newspaper.
Mrs. Njiowhor died on Saturday as a result of brief illness.
She was a two-term Standing Committee member representing the Eastern zone. She was at the 2021 NGE Convention in Kano where she contested the position of Treasurer.
Mrs. Njiowhor’s death has robbed the Guild of a committed member who never missed any of its events since joining the organisation.
Her death came shortly after that of a former Deputy President, Elder Esinjo Oqua Itu, in Calabar.
The Guild said it takes solace in the fact that Mrs. Njiowhor served humanity with diligence during her earthly sojourn here.
“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 statement concluded.
A condolence register has been opened at the Editors’ House, No. 24, Mojidi Street, Ikeja in honour of Mrs. Njiowhor.
