Navy pledges to beef up aesthetics of NUJ Secretariat in Calabar


The Commander Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) Victory, Commodore Rotimi Oderemi has promised to help in beefing up the aesthetics of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, secretariat, Cross River State.

This is after the command donated one dozen of chairs to the centre to palliate the dire need of a conducive working environment for members of the Union.

The NNS Victory boss said, “This is just a dozen. We will come back very soon to add more value to your Secretariat in our commitment to fostering greater collaboration with the NUJ.”

He further said the gesture was in appreciation for the efforts of members of the Union in covering activities of NNS Victory and projecting the Unit in positive light.

“As part of our non-kinetic line of operation, NNS Victory, being a unit under ‘Operation Delta Sanity,’ thought it wise that we provide a token towards a more comfortable Secretariat for journalists in Cross River State.”

Receiving the donations, on behalf of members of Cross River NUJ, the Chairman, Comrade Archibong Bassey expressed gratitude to Commander Oderemi and members of his team for swiftly responding to the NUJ Council’s appeal with the kind donation of a dozen of chairs.

The NUJ leader mentioned that the donation and visit to the Ernest Etim Bassey Press Centre symbolize NNS Victory’s commitment to strengthening existing relationship between the two bodies as well as engendering development for the noble journalism profession, Cross River state and the nation at large.

The commander and other members of his team were received at the Ernest Etim Bassey Press Centre by the Chairman and some members of the NUJ Council.
