BY LAW IBITOYE
The Online Media Chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ekiti state, has been awarded the best chapel of Ekiti State NUJ Council.
The chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ekiti State Council, Comrade Kayode Babatuyi made the declaration during the union’s dinner held on Saturday at G- BOSS Hotel and Event center in Ado Ekiti, the State capital.
Online media chapel won the award based on its ingenuity, timely and accurate reportage of events which has placed the Chapel above all other Chapels of NUJ in the State as they and other members of the public always rely on them as source of news especially now that newspaper organisations can no longer print much copies due to high cost of printing materials, radio and television stations in the state can no longer run for several hours due to high cost of diesel as source of power.
Receiving the monetary award, the Chairman of the Online Media in Ekiti, Comrade Ayodele Abere, commended the leadership of NUJ in the state for taking record of performances of each of the eleven chapels in the state.
Comrade Abere used the occasion to charge all online journalists to brace up for more tasks ahead, saying the recognition would spur the chapel to do more by giving accurate and objective reportage to all happenings.
