NUJ Mourns the Death of Member, Ogonnaya Umeham

The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council has expressed deep shock over the death of former Secretary of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalistsz NAWOJ, FCT Chapter, Prophetess Ogonnaya Regina Umeham.

Prophetess Umeham passed away on Friday after a prolonged illness. She was a former staff member of Daily Times Newspapers and, until her death, served as the News Editor of Weekenders Magazine.

This devastating news comes while the council is still grieving the loss of another member, the late Rafat Idris.

In a statement issued on Saturday by the Secretary of the Council, Comrade Jide Oyekunle, the NUJ expressed its sorrow over this tragic and unfortunate loss.

The statement reads:
*“The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council joins the family, friends, colleagues, and associates of Prophetess Ogonnaya Umeham in mourning the sudden passing of this vibrant journalist, whose health sadly deteriorated in recent months.

“This loss is particularly painful and devastating for us, coming just hours after the passing of another colleague, Rafat Idris.

“Prophetess Umeham, a former NAWOJ Secretary, who passed away on Friday morning after a protracted illness, worked with several reputable media organizations, including Daily Times Newspapers. Until her passing, she was the News Editor of Weekenders Magazine in Abuja.

“She also served as the Secretary of the Credentials Committee for the Delegates Conference of NAWOJ held in Kano, where Comrade Gbenga Onayiga was the Chairman.”*

The family of Prophetess Umeham will announce her burial arrangements in due course.
