While describing Governor Soludo as a renowned economist and intellectual, whose vision is to make Anambra a prosperous homeland, Dr Obi, urged him to give needed attention to journalists in the state, to help project his administration in a limelight.
According to him, information is power, Journalists can build and equally destroy. They should always be carried along in the affairs of governance. They are mouthpieces of society. I have had complaints in some quarters that the present administration of Prof Soludo, has not appointed a Chief Press Secretary (CPS), to enable Journalists in the state to feel a sense of belonging. So, I appealed to the governor to make Journalists his best friends for the better Anambra of his Vision 2070.
He praised the critical role journalists play in society, adding that NUJ, with herculean and sensitive job, has done tremendously well for the progress of the state.
He thanked the State Executive Council of NUJ for their visit, promised to give maximum support to the union, and called for unity of purpose among them.
He used the opportunity to call for the promotion of Igbo culture and tradition, in order not to allow it to go into extinction.
