The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council, is grieving the sudden death of Emilia Ohabunwa, an Assistant Chief Producer with the Voice of Nigeria (VON), whose passing has left colleagues and friends in shock.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Grace Ike, the council described Ohabunwa as a cheerful and lively colleague whose warmth and dedication endeared her to many who knew and worked with her.
The union said she was a passionate broadcaster whose professionalism and commitment to duty, along with her contributions to programme production, helped project Nigeria’s voice to the world.
The council noted that her death is a painful loss to the journalism profession, to VON and to the NUJ FCT Council, where she also served in the Welfare Committee.
On behalf of the leadership and members, Ike extended condolences to Ohabunwa’s family, the management and staff of Voice of Nigeria, her colleagues, friends and loved ones.
The council prayed for comfort and strength for the bereaved family and for the eternal rest of the departed colleague.
“Your voice may be silent, but your contributions to journalism will never be forgotten,” the statement said in tribute.
