The Education Writers Association of Nigeria, comprising journalists from print, broadcast, and online platforms, has reelected Mojeed Alabi, Lead, Development Desk of The Premium Times, as chairman for another three-year term.

The election took place on Thursday during the associations annual general meeting at the International Press Centre, Ogba, Lagos State.

Alabi expressed his gratitude to his colleagues and members of the past administration for their faith in his ability to lead the association for another term. He said his reelection proves the members’ confidence in his capacity to handle the associations affairs.

He stressed the associations commitment to impactful interventions in the education sector and reaffirmed the importance of quality reporting and advocacy in driving change.

This new term offers us the opportunity to advance the goals of this noble organisation. Beyond reporting, advocacy remains a critical tool, and we reaffirm our commitment to rededicate ourselves to the progress of this great association. With your continued support, we are confident that EWAN will achieve new milestones and create lasting impacts, he added.

Alabi is an award-winning development and investigative journalist. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and a Masters Certificate in Diplomacy and Strategic Studies from the University of Lagos, Nigeria.
