Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated Mr. Eze Anaba, Editor of the Vanguard newspaper, on his emergence as the new President of the Chairman Nigerian Guild of

AbdulRazaq, who is also chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) said in a statement on Monday by his Chief Press Secretary Rafiu

The governor also welcomed the election of other executive members of the NGE, including General Secretary Mr. Iyobosa Uwugiaren.
According to him, the seamless transition in the prestigious body points to its commitment to democracy and good governance.
“The Governor charges the new NGE leadership led by Mr. Eze Anaba to continue to mobilise the media for good governance, national unity, peace, and development.
