The President of Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Mrs. Funke Egbemode, has called for synergy between NGE and the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), saying that such will ensure better working conditions and welfare of journalists operating in Nigeria.
Speaking during a visit to the NUJ Press Centre in Kano Monday, Mrs. Egbemode, who is also the Managing Director of the New Telegraph Newspapers, noted that increased working relationship between the NGE and NUJ will be of great benefit to the journalism profession.
She said there should be fraternity between NGE and NUJ so as to gain mutual respect and redeem the journalism profession from ridicule and intimidation from external forces.
According to her, the NGE administration has been advocating the need for mutual understanding and operation between NGE and NUJ, while calling on stakeholders of the two professional bodies to think towards that direction.
