Recall that the renowned crime reporter has said he will Implement within 72 hours of his assumption as Chairman of the Edo NUJ, free internet services for the use of Edo Journalists.
According to him:
“Anyone within the premises of the press center can access the internet on their phones, laptops, or other social media devices at no cost to journalists 72 hours after I assumed as Chairman .”
On the e-library, he said, if elected, his administration will broker a truce between the contracting firm that renovated the library in the NUJ PressCentre and the sponsor which is the University of Benin. “I will ensure that Journalists enjoy functional e-library facilities within a short time into my administration.
“An intervention team that will be led by me as chairman will be set up to intervene for journalists who have court cases or any infraction with the Police, VIO, FRSC, PUWO, ESTMA as well as journalists who acquired property that seems to be in dispute.
“All the toilet facilities in the NUJ press center will be maintained and kept clean always. The one we have now which to me is an “eyesore” does not only require renovation but frequent maintenance. This will bring strong respite to all journalists and visitors at the Press Centre.”
On Compendium for journalists in the state, he said.
“Within one year in office as chairman, we shall produce a compendium of all practicing and accredited journalists in Edo State. The compendium shall, among others have the names and pictures of all registered journalists in Edo state.
This move is to check quackery in the journalism profession in Edo State as it will help add value to NUJ electoral system.” He said
