Date: 2024-11-29

The Kwara State councils of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), National League of Veteran Journalists (NALVEJ), and National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) have congratulated Comrade Alhassan Yahaya on his election as the new national president of the NUJ, as reported by Leadership.

In separate statements issued in Ilorin, the three unions described Yahaya's victory at the poll as well-deserved.

The NUJ, in a statement signed by the council's chairman and secretary, AbdulLateef 'Lanre Ahmed and Olayinka Alaya, said that the overwhelming support of the delegates for Yahaya at the just-concluded 8th Triennial National Delegates' Conference of the union, held in Owerri, Imo State, attested to his popularity and wider acceptability among the candidates who vied for the job.

The election of Yahaya as the new national president of the NUJ is seen as a significant development in the union's history, and his leadership is expected to bring about positive changes in the journalism profession.

“The Kwara State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) is enthused with the emergence of Comrade Alhassan Yahya as the new president of the union.

“As a council that has followed the pre-election intrigues and horse trading with keen interest, we are not surprised at the overwhelming support of delegates across the 37 Councils for Alhassan Yahaya, who is the immediate past deputy president of the union.

“We also use this opportunity to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the immediate past president, Chief Chris Isiguso for his leadership quality that manifested in the achievements recorded throughout his six years as primus inter pares in NUJ,” the statement added.

The National League of Veteran Journalists (NALVEJ) in a statement signed by its chairman, Alhaji Tunde Akanbi and publicity secretary, Alh Abdullahi Olesin, hailed Yahaya's victory in the election.

It praised the immediate past national president of the NUJ, Mr Chris Isiguso for organising a peaceful, free and fair election which ushered in the new national executives of the union.

NALVEJ particularly noted the crucial role that the Kwara State council of the NUJ, ably led by its chairman, AbdulLateef Ahmed played in the emergence of Yahaya as the new national president of the union.

It hailed the sportsmanship stance of another presidential candidate, Malam Mohammed Garba on the outcome of the election, urging all members of the union across the country to emulate his exemplary conduct.

The National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) in a statement signed by its chairperson, Hajia Bola Ayantola and the secretary, Mariam Abdulkadir-Yusuf expressed delight over Yahaya's victory at the poll.

The union commended the new NUJ president's dedication to journalism practice and his unwavering commitment to the rights and welfare of journalists nationwide.
