The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council, has received with deep shock and profound sadness the sudden passing of our dear colleague and member, Comrade Emilia Ohabunwa, an Assistant Chief Producer with the Voice of Nigeria (VON).
She was a jolly good fellow, full of life, warmth and dedication – and her death has come as a shock to many who knew and worked with her.
Comrade Emilia was a passionate broadcaster whose commitment to duty, professionalism and invaluable contributions to programme production helped promote Nigeria’s voice to the world.
Her passing is a painful loss to the journalism profession, to VON, and to the entire NUJ FCT Council, where she also served passionately in the Welfare Committee.
On behalf of the leadership and members of the NUJ FCT Council, I extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, the management and staff of Voice of Nigeria, colleagues, friends and loved ones.
We pray for God’s comfort and strength for the bereaved family and for the eternal rest of our departed colleague.
Adieu, Comrade Emilia Ohabunwa. Your voice may be silent, but your contributions to journalism will never be forgotten.
This was contained in a statement E-Signed by Comrade Grace Ike, Chairman, NUJ FCT Council.
