As the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi State draws near, Isiguzo urged journalists to be fair to all parties contesting the election.

“Our duty to report accurately, fairly, and fearlessly is our pledge to the public, a covenant that underscores the importance of our role in shaping public discourse, influencing policy, and fostering social change.

On the unveiling of the book “Media Development in Kogi State, 1999-2023,” the NUJ described it as a “remarkable literary endeavor that captures the evolution of media in this state over a span of twenty-four years.

“I am particularly honored to have contributed the foreword to this significant publication.”
