The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), has dissociated itself from an award and issuance of certificates to some people by Foundation for Transparency and Accountability, a Non Governmental Organisation, which purportedly took the action in collaboration with Nigeria Guild of Editors.
The NGE, the umbrella professional body for the leadership of print, broadcast and online media in Nigeria, says it has no affiliation with the Foundation for Transparency and Accountability and the purported Nigeria Guild of Editors.
In a statement, the General Secretary of the NGE, Mary Atolagbe, dissociated itself from the Foundation and the purported award on the 10thof May, 2019.
The statement partly reads, “Nigerian Guild of Editors is not in any way privy to the foundation’s activities and does not know or recognise the Foundation for Transparency and Accountability.
“The Guild has never had any collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organisation and does not in any way intend to engage in any dealings whatsoever with the organisation.
“The Guild hereby informs the Nigerian public that, in its almost six decades of existence as a professional body of leaders in the Nigerian media, it does not give awards and has never given award to any individual, corporate, government or public entities.”
