Nigeria Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has congratulated the National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Mr. Waheed Odusile on his election as the President, Federation of African Journalists (FAJ).
Saraki in a letter of congratulations signed by the Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in Abuja, said that the FAJ platform which is the African regional association of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), has provided Odusile another “opportunity to once again demonstrate on the continental plane the leadership abilities and qualities with which you have successfully directed the affairs of the national body”.
The letter reads in part: “The President of the Senate has no doubt that your tenure will record more successes for the FAJ in the attainment of its objectives and mandate which among others is to improve the social and professional rights of its members and to enforce trade union development in the media industry in Africa.”
