The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council has strengthened its ties with the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) through a strategic engagement. The NUJ FCT Council, led by its Chairman, Comrade Grace Ike, hosted the General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications and Spokesperson of the NPA, Mr Ikechukwu Chika Onyemekara, and his team at the Council's Secretariat in Abuja.
The meeting aimed to foster a stronger alliance between the two organisations on media training and empowerment. The NUJ FCT Council is committed to equipping journalists with the necessary skills to effectively report on the activities of the NPA and other government agencies.
The engagement provided a platform for the NPA to share its vision and goals with the NUJ FCT Council, and for the council to express its commitment to supporting the NPA's efforts. The meeting is a significant step towards building a more collaborative relationship between the two organisations.
The NPA has significant operations in Abuja, with several ports under its management. The NUJ FCT Council will continue to work closely with the NPA to promote transparency and accountability in the country's maritime sector.
The recent alliance between the NUJ FCT Council and the NPA is a welcome development, particularly in the context of the NPA's significant operations in Abuja. With several ports under its management, the NPA has a critical role to play in the country's maritime sector. The NUJ FCT Council's commitment to equipping journalists with the necessary skills to report effectively on the NPA's activities will undoubtedly promote transparency and accountability in the sector. This collaboration has the potential to improve the public's understanding of the NPA's operations and the impact of its decisions on everyday Nigerians.
