The Press Secretary to Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Mr. Christian Aburime has reiterated the commitment of the present administration in fostering strategic partnerships, especially with members of the fourth estate of the realm.
Mr. Aburime was speaking during the Monthly Congress of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Anambra State Chapter, which was held at the Press Center in Awka.
The Press Secretary emphasized that Governor Soludo is ever ready to support the union to succeed.
"This government is ready to support NUJ in Anambra state through fostering the flourishing relationship. No govt can thrive without the support of the press. So, Governor Soludo is not taking the media for granted", Mr. Aburime said.
He pointed out that Governor Soludo believes so much in Anambra journalists, but lamented that some headlines and write-ups appear too sensational, tasking them on objective reportage.
Said the Press Secretary, "Some write-ups are too sensational to qualify as being objective. Always try to balance your reports, at least I know that it is one of the ethics of the profession.
Journalism is a very serious and widely recognized profession, notwithstanding the fact that the advent of the social media has turned everybody to an 'emergency' journalist."
Mr. Aburime asked them to always think of their own integrity as well as their name in every of their write-up which carries their bylines. "There are many successful journalists in Nigeria. Strive to be like them. I beg of you to continue to give your support to Soludo government and the government will also continue to reciprocate".
On his part, the Chairman of Nigeria Union of Journalists, Anambra State Chapter, Dr. Emeka Odogwu, while recieving the Press Secretary, assured of reciprocating the Governor's support gestures.
