The national president of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Alhassan Yahaya, has promised to ensure that his administration improves the welfare of journalists in Nigeria through regular and continuous engagement with employers, government, and other stakeholders in the industry.
He stated this in Benin City, Edo State when he attended the 2025 Annual Classic Dinner organised by the Edo State Council of the union.

The president also commended the governor of the state, Sen. Monday Okpebholo for his passion for development in the state and called on the people to support the administration.
Comrade Yahaya commended the initiative of the Edo State Council of the NUJ to hold the annual event and urged that it should be sustained.

On her part, the deputy national president (DNP) of the union, Mrs Abimbola Oyetunde, who is the first female journalist to occupy the position in the history of the NUJ in Nigeria, commended journalists in Edo State for the support they have given to the state and national leadership of the union and urged that it should be sustained.

In his welcome address, the chairman of the State Council of the NUJ, Comrade Festus Alenkhe said the Classic Dinner was the 4th under his administration which he said was designed to give opportunity to journalists and their families to unwind.

The high point of the event was the decoration of Governor Okpebholo as a Grand Patron of the NUJ. He was represented by his Commissioner for Communication, Orientation and ICT, Hon Paul Ohonbamu, who in his speech said Governor Okpebholo was a media-friendly governor who would not gag the press and urged practitioners to remain professional “and adhere to fairness, equity and objectivity in all your reports. He talks less, his utterances are in his deeds and acts.”
