NATIONAL President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Mr. Chris Isiguzo, weekend, tasked journalists to be professional in the discharge of their duties, as the general elections draw near, urging them to ensure peace and accountability in the land.
Speaking at the commissioning of the newly remodelled NUJ Secretariat, Lagos Council, alongside the founder of the Love of Christ Generation Church, Reverend Esther Ajayi, and other dignitaries, Isiguzo said: “Nigerian journalists must discharge their duties, as the general elections draw near. Whatsoever it will take to have peace and accountability in the land, we must pursue it.
“I am so excited and filled with joy to be part of this special event coming after the NUJ Delegates Conference, where the NUJ Constitution was reviewed and strengthened. We are not surprised because we all know that Lagos is the heartbeat of journalism in Nigeria.”

“I have representatives of all political parties in my church so, everybody is my friend.”
