Mr. Chijioke Amu-Nnadi, a director/head of Servicom at the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has charged journalists to maintain truth as a core value in the discharge of their duties to the society.
Nnadi, who spoke on the theme: "Dangers of Gagging the Media in Contemporary Society" at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) press week in Enugu on Thursday, said as professionals, journalists could only enjoy the respect of the public when they honour truth and report without bias.
In his address, the Chairman, NUJ Enugu State Council, Sam Udekwe, emphasised the role of journalists in informing the public factually, and holding the leaders accountable.
He noted that the media have unique ability to amplify the voices of the marginalised communities, expose corruption and draw attention to the most pressing issues that would shape the future.
In his speech, the Governor of Enugu state, Dr. Peter Mbah, represented by the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Aka Eze Aka, assured the state government’s support for the NUJ.
He assured the cooperation and friendship of the state, noting that Governor Mbah is a man who believes in delivering things unusuall through distruptive innovation.
While commending the cordial relationship between the governor and the journalists, noted that such relationships would be replicated to other functionaries of government.
On landscaping of the press centre and provision of utility bus for the council, the Commissioner promised to take the demands of the Council to the governor.
Speaking on the occasion, Comrade Emmanuel Ifesinachi, the Vice President of Zone C of the union, and representative of the national president, said press week is used by various state councils to evaluate their performances/ achievements and make accurate projections for better performance.
He commended NUJ Enugu State Council for upholding the principles and ethics of the journalism profession. He equally urged the government to recognise the contribution of the media in the society during the press week.
Highlights of the event were presentation of awards to Emmanuel Okoh, a Humanitarian, Hon. Dennis Nnamdi Agbo, Mr and Mrs Thomas Purity Takoh, Hon. Chinedu Arthu- Ugwa Felix, and Sani Friday Nnaji as well as musical presentation.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
