Sahara Weekly Reports That The Nigeria Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE) has reiterated its strong commitment to raising the standards of journalism and prioritizing the welfare of media practitioners across the country.
This dedication was highlighted during a recent courtesy visit to Lagos Television, where NASRE representatives shared their vision, achievements, and initiatives aimed at fostering collaboration and supporting journalists nationwide.
Speaking during the visit, Adeyemi Obadimu, NASRE’s Public Relations Officer, emphasized the association’s role in providing crucial support to vulnerable journalists. He highlighted the foundation’s efforts to assist journalists facing significant challenges, including illness or bereavement.
“This year alone, we’ve conducted two outreach programs, directly assisting 31 journalists,” Obadimu stated. “Our foundation is particularly focused on supporting the families of deceased journalists, ensuring their children’s education continues uninterrupted despite their loss.”
Building on this, Zakhar Ali, NASRE’s Finance Director, outlined the association’s welfare programs aimed at improving the personal and professional lives of journalists.
“Our mission is to stand by our colleagues in every possible way—be it financial assistance, healthcare, or family support,” Ali remarked. “Journalism is more than a profession; it is a lifelong service to society. Those who dedicate their lives to this noble calling deserve unwavering support.”
The Lagos Television (LTV) General Manager, Adesola Ibironke Kosoko, commended NASRE’s initiatives and expressed readiness to support the association’s programs.
“As journalists, we understand the uncertainties of life. Knowing NASRE is there to support our colleagues during difficult times is both reassuring and inspiring,” Kosoko stated.
NASRE continues to call on individuals, corporations, and government bodies to support its mission. By supporting NASRE’s efforts, these stakeholders can help ensure that those devoted to journalism are adequately cared for in their times of need.

From Giant to Beggar: The Tragic Collapse of Nigeria Under APC Rule
By George Omagbemi Sylvester
Once hailed as the “Giant of Africa,” Nigeria now limps on broken legs — economically battered, politically rudderless, and morally bankrupt. It is no longer just the brain drain that should worry us; it is the soul drain. Nigerians — students, professionals, entire families — are fleeing not just to Europe or North America, but to Ghana, a nation we once dismissed as “small brother.” This is not just ironic. It is humiliating. And it is a direct consequence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) taking power in 2015.
The APC’s takeover, starting with President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, marked the beginning of a free-fall. What followed was a decade of despair, capped now by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — another APC patriarch — who has inherited and worsened the crisis. The result? Every airport terminal has become a departure lounge for the talented, the young, and the fed up.
The prophetic hall of fame and Ambassador of peace,prophet Godwin Ikuru of Jehovah Eye Salvation Ministry has warned that those oppressing and intimidating senator Natasha Akpoti will be exposed if they continue to perpetuate the ungodly and derogatory act.
Speaking to newsmen today in Lagos, prophet Ikuru enunciated that God is not happy with the injustice the female senator has been subjected to “the injustice Natasha is facing is too much,they want to reduce her to nothing and rubbish her existence, what has she done?just because she cried out and told everyone what she has been passing through,I want to warn those who have been plotting against her sternly that anyone that intimidates or oppresses her again will face grave consequences “.
Prophet Ikuru maintained that Senator Natasha has been a good example and a great role model to women in politics “senator Natasha is loved dearly by her constituency because she is performing magnificently and allowing her people to feel the impact of democracy,no senator in that constituency has done half of what Natasha did within a year,why the plot to remove her unjustly through a manipulated recall,I,the prophetic hall of fame,I decree that anyone that is after your life, let the power of God scatter them, anyone that wants to disrupt Asiwaju government let God scatter them, anyone that wants to disrupt the government of Babajide Sanwo-Olu God will scatter them ”
