The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has inaugurated a seven man Local Organising Committee (LOC) for its scheduled Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on May 27 in Kano.
Inaugurating the LOC committee in Kano, the President of the NGE, Mr. Mustapha Musa said the committee was responsible for Organising the convention and election.
The NGE President expressed confidence that the committee members will deliver a successful convention/election,
NGE is a non-governmental, non-partisan, non-profit making organisation, for the highest strata of working journalists who have
attained the exalted position of editors in the journalism profession.
The president explained that no fewer than 58 members will converge in Kano.
He therefore solicited adequate support for the LOC to have a successful and accepted convention, noting that the committee has the responsibility to provide accommodation, local transportation and feeding for the participants.
He charged the participating members not to be scared of the security challenges in some part of the Country, saying that Kano State is very peaceful and secured for them.
Mr. Mustapha Musa further commended the Kano State Government for accepting to host the 2021 convention in the State, adding that in the past 14-years, this is the first to be hosted in the North.
Responding, the Chairman of the LOC, Dr. Sule Ya’u-Sule said the committee has seven members, adding that by the tradition of the NGEDITORS, it is supposed to be six members.
“But because we want to accommodate some of our colleagues from the north, that is why we keyed in one person from Sokoto so that to help us sensitise our members from the Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi States axis”
