The Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State (BSES) Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has inaugurated a new set of executives to steer the affairs of the chapel.
The new executive is led by Comrade Bukola Adebukola as Chairman, with Yemi Olajutemu as Vice Chairman, Abimbola Adegboyega as Secretary, and Christy Ishola Yusuf as Treasurer.
Speaking during the inauguration, the NUJ Chairman, Ekiti State Council, Comrade Kayode Babatuyi, charged the newly elected executives to promote unity, discipline, transparency and accountability in the administration of the union.
Babatuyi emphasised that unionism was founded on equality and collective responsibility, irrespective of members’ ranks or positions in their respective workplaces. He urged members to support the new leadership, stressing that there should be no winners or losers after an election.
He also encouraged the executives to protect the integrity of the union, ensure regular payment of dues and prevent non-members from enjoying privileges reserved for registered members.
In his acceptance speech, Adebukola pledged that his administration would prioritise transparency, collective decision-making and members’ welfare, while promising to revive the chapel’s quarterly forum and pursue the completion of an outstanding project.
The new chairman also appealed to the NUJ State Council to extend professional training opportunities to chapel members, irrespective of their positions, to enhance their capacity and promote excellence in journalism.
Adebukola appreciated the leadership of Ekiti NUJ, BSES management, members of his chapel and called on them to work together for the progress of the chapel.
