Visitors Restricted At Edo Press Centre

Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Edo State Council has announced the restriction of visitors to the Press Centre until the nationwide protest against economic hardship is over.

In a statement at the weekend in Benin by Festus Alenkhe and Andy Egbon, the chairperson and secretary of the council respectively, the union said the centre would be closed from 6 p.m. until further notice to ensure that individuals with ulterior motives do not use the centre as a haven to congregate.

The NUJ leadership urged every member to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities. It added that the safety and well-being of journalists and visitors to the centre was of utmost priority to the union. (NAN)
