Top Media Personalities To Visit Zamfara For Nigeria Media Nite-out Award’s 15TH Edition.

 

All is now set for this year’s Nigeria Media Nite Award.
Known for his glamorous gathering, having failed to hold last year due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s edition which is in its 15th edition will be acknowledging journalists, businessmen, and politicians for their dexterity and dedication, as well as their outstanding contributions to their various fields.
According to the Director of Media and Publicity of the prestigious award, Mr. Murphy Ajibade Alabi, who spoke on behalf of the convener, Sola Olugbemiro, said this year’s edition will be different from what it used to be; “We have been doing this for 14 years even without major sponsors (which we are still looking towards anyways), but that has not reduced our vigor.”
We are having this year’s edition on July 11, 2021. In fact for this year, it will be a celebration of success for everyone that is involved. And on that ground, I am saying confidently that journalists especially the top ones and editors, and the winners in each category will be on a tour to Zamfara State to inspect the State Government’s projects.
Among the projects to be inspected is the Zamfara RUGA project. “We are working on that and by God’s grace it will be achieved. We want to carry editors along in this year’s edition”.
Also speaking, Omoba Segun Adewale the CEO of 247 and Vice Chairman, NMNA, stated that this year’s event will be well celebrated given the fact it is the 15th edition.
“We have gone a long way in packaging this annual event, and I don’t think we have failed to hold it any year except for Covid-19 which hindered us last year, so we need to roll out the drums this year to celebrate. Even though we are soliciting for State Governments to host or sponsor the event as we have been doing that solely for the past 14 years.

NAWOJ: SEKINAT, CHARITY GETS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE 

 

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.

 

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

 

The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.

 

According to the communique ” Consequently, NAWOJ Ogun State Chapter, reaffirms it’s unwavering support and confidence in the Chairperson and the Financial Secretary, Sekinat Salam and Charity James respectively, Urge them to continue in their commitment to purposeful leadership in the best interest of the association and the society at large”.

 

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
