The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council, has expressed their profound appreciation to the Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa for the release of a brand new bus to the Union, on Monday, October 31, 2022.
In a statement signed by Comrade Michael Ikeogwu, NUJ Chairman Delta State and Comrade Patrick Ochei, NUJ Secretary Delta State Council, said; “We are indeed overwhelmed with joy over this gesture and shall continue to celebrate.
“There was a spontaneous celebration, even as members of the State Council did celebrate as soon as the bus arrived the newly commissioned Press Centre.
“Everything is just happening spontaneously. Just on Friday 28th October, 2022, the Governor inaugurated a new Secretariat for the union; completed and tastefully furnished by his administration.
“Right there at the inauguration ceremony, he made a promise of two vehicles to the union – a bus and a utility vehicle for the office of the Chairman; and like the EKWUEME that he is, he has released the bus to the union at the next working day”.
They said the Union is proud and has every reason to continue to refer to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as a very Press Friendly Governor going forward.
We are also proud to identify with him, even as we hope to continue to cherish this kind gesture whenever our history and existence is celebrated as a Union.
Members of the union shall reciprocate these special gifts by ensuring that the policies and programmes of Governor Okowa are given adequate publicity.
Once again, we appreciate the Governor, Okowa for this honour done us in this special way. Thank you sir and may God’s continual favour be with you.
