Gov Ahmed Urges New NUJ President To Make Members' Welfare His Priority
Gov. AbdulFatah Ahmed of Kwara has urged the new President of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Mr Waheed Odusile, to make the welfare of journalists his priority.
The governor made the call in a congratulatory message to Odusile, signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Abdulwahaab Oba in Ilorin on Sunday.
He advised the new NUJ president to evolve a mechanism to ensure adequate remuneration for media practitioners in the country.Ahmed said that the role of journalists to national growth and development was critical and media practitioners should not be poorly paid.
"Just as it is done with other professions, journalism is too central for national growth and development to be left without adequate but commensurate remuneration, " the governor added.
He urged journalists to adhere strictly to the ethics of the profession and called on Odusile and members of his team to also be magnanimous in victory and embrace all-inclusive tenure.
The governor promised to create better enabling environment for journalists working in Kwara.
