Editors Urge FG To End South-East Marginalisation, Promote National Inclusion

Saturday June 28, 2025

The Nigerian Guild of Editors, NGE, has urged the federal government to take concrete steps towards ending the political and socio-economic exclusion of the South-East from national affairs.

Speaking at the Guild’s 2025 Biennial National Convention held in Enugu, the Chairman of the event and also Chairman of Channels Television, Dr. John Momoh, noted that the region, particularly Enugu, still bears the scars of past neglect, especially from the aftermath of the Biafran war.

“We must bring them to inclusion as a form of national healing,” Momoh said.

He spoke on the theme, “Building A Secured And Cohesive Nigeria: The Role Of Dialogue, Inclusion, And The Media,” stressing the importance of justice as a foundation for national security and unity.

“As media professionals, we shape opinions, and that power comes with responsibility. Let us not only report conflict, but be bridge builders of national conscience,” he added.
