The Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) has condoled with Media Trust Limited, publishers of Daily Trust, Weekly Trust, Sunday Trust and Aminiya over the death of its Managing Editor Suleiman Mohammed who died on Thursday.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Alyu described the late Editor as a thorough bred journalist who touched the lives of many in a positive way and helped to strengthen freedom and democracy.
The forum described his death as a great loss to journalism profession and humanity in general.
“All the titles on the Media Trust stable have become leading lights in the nation’s media industry because of the vision, commitment and hard work of seasoned professionals like the late Suleiman Mohammed and hordes of other journalists who have worked or are still working for the Newspapers,’’ said a statement signed by Governor Aliyu’s Chief Press Secretary, Danladi Ndayebo.
The statement expressed the hope that the generation of journalists who benefited from the immense knowledge and managerial acumen of the late Editor will keep the flag flying by nurturing and sustaining the high standards that were set by Malam Suleiman.
The forum commiserated with the members of the family of the late Editor and prayed that God will give them the fortitude to bear the irredeemable loss, while also granting the departed eternal rest.
