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)
