The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has applauded journalists across the country particularly in Osun State, over their roles in sustaining democracy in Nigeria.
Ogunwusi made the commendation at the weekend, while playing host to the leadership and members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Osun State Council at his Ile Oodua Palace, Ile-Ife during the annual dinner tagged “An Evening With The Ooni”.
Oba Ogunwusi lauded them for not heating up the already tense polity in the country as they perform their daily duties.
“You all have proven via responsible journalism that you are nation builders and not alarmists, even in the face of intimidation and provocation, you have all stood your ground as patriotic Nigerians.
“I am aware of your unquantifiable efforts towards ending the recently called off industrial action embarked upon by the Association of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other trying times in our land. I wish to thank you immensely for these and I urge you to sustain this gesture.’’
