The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has mourned the passing of the editor of Port Harcourt-based, The Tide Newspaper, Mrs. Juliet Ejiowhor.

According to a statement issued by the NGE, Mrs. Njiowhor died on Saturday after a 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 organization.

“Her death came shortly after that of our former Deputy President, Elder Esinjo Oqua Itu, in Calabar.

“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 read.
