The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has postponed its annual All Nigeria Editors Conference (ANEC) to November 12 and 13, 2025.
The Guild ― the elite professional body of Managing Directors, Directors of News and Editors of print, online, news agency, and broadcast organisations ― said President Bola Tinubu had given his commitment to declare the conference open as Special Guest of Honour in Abuja on November 12.
In a statement issued by the President and the General Secretary, Eze Anaba and Onuoha Ukeh, respectively, on Friday, October 17, the NGE said the change of date was due to circumstances beyond its control.
The media body apologised to its members, all invited guests, and the general public for the inconvenience the change of date may cause them.
The NGE said the conference venue remains Abuja, while giving assurance that the event will be a veritable platform to dissect issues that would sustain national cohesion and development in the country.

The Guild stated: “The Standing Committee of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) regrets to inform members, invited guests and the general public that due to circumstances beyond its control, the All Nigeria Editors Conference (ANEC) 2025 has been shifted to November 12-13, 2025. The venue remains the same (Abuja).
“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this change of date may cause you.
“We promise that despite the change of date, the ANEC 2025 would be a credible platform to discuss and proffer solutions to issues pertaining to national development and cohesion.
“President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, will declare the conference open, while dignitaries from government, academia, media, organised private sector and diplomatic corps are expected to attend.”
The Editors added the 2025 ANEC will see no fewer than 500 members converging on Abuja, adding that the event is designed to provide a platform for editors/media executives to explore ways to promote national development and cohesion through responsible and responsive journalism.
The ANEC holds every year for editors to address and discuss national issues that have social, economic and political consequences in Nigeria.
