Edo Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Dennis Idahosa has commiserated with the Edo council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and THISDAY Newspapers over the Death of Austin Adibe Emeyonu.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Friday Aghedo, Idahosa expressed deep sadness over the passing of the Edo State Correspondent of THISDAY Newspapers, who until his death was the Edo State Correspondent of THISDAY Newspapers.

The Deputy Governor described the late Emeyonu as a thoroughbred journalist who distinguished himself through professionalism, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to factual and balanced reporting.
