As part of the renewed understanding between the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ),
Kwara State and the leadership of the NUJ Council in the state, the chapel has announced immediate lifting of all internal restrictions previously placed on persons and participation in NUJ activities.
In his acceptance speech after the inauguration of the Chapel’s newly elected seven-man executive committee in Ilorin on Wednesday, the chairman of the chapel, Biola Azeez, said that the development has signalled restoration of full engagement with the affairs of the state council.
“The development is expected to foster greater collaboration among journalists in Kwara State and reinforce the shared commitment of both the council and the Correspondents’ Chapel to unity, professionalism and the advancement of the journalism profession”, he said.
Azeez also reaffirmed the Chapel’s commitment to working harmoniously with the state council in advancing welfare of journalists and promoting professionalism within the union.
Azeez expressed appreciation to the state council for the inauguration, describing it as a positive development that opens a fresh chapter in the relationship between the Chapel and the Kwara NUJ Council.
The inauguration saw the Kwara NUJ Chairman, Abdullateef Ahmed, formally swear in the seven-man executive, led by Biola Azeez, marking a significant step towards strengthening unity and cooperation within the union.
In his speech during the ceremony, Ahmed described the occasion as the beginning of a new phase of mutual understanding and collective progress.
He urged members of the new executive to discharge their responsibilities with courage, integrity and a commitment to the ideals of journalism, while emphasising the importance of unity across all chapels of the union.
