Leaders of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) across the six South West states, otherwise called Zone B, have commended the tremendous progress recorded in recent time by the Ademola Babalola-led executives of the union in Oyo State.
The leaders who could not hide their feelings during the Zone B meeting of the union hosted by the Osun State Council, lauded the efforts of Babalola and his team for changing the narrative of the union in Oyo State.
Those who spoke at the meeting include the Vice President of the Zone, Comrade Ronke Samo; National Trustee Officer from the Zone, Comrade Adebayo Akamo; Chairmen of Ekiti and Ondo States, Comrades Rotimi Ojomoyela and Leke Adegbite respectively, and Ekiti State Secretary, Comrade Kayode Babatuyi.
They all eulogised Babalola and urged him to continue with the laudable and monumental development in Oyo Council.
They unanimously agreed that the commendation should be included in the communique of the meeting for record purpose.
A part of the communique signed by Adegbite, Babatuyi and the Secretary of Osun State Council, Comrade Bukola Elufadejin, stated that: “The house noted with excitement the significant progress recorded by the NUJ Oyo Council, in recent time, hence the house commended members of the State Working Committee led by Comrade Ademola Babalola for setting the pace for a modern Oyo NUJ, urging members and leaders at the Council to sustain the giant strides,”
In a related development, another senior journalist in Oyo State, on Sunday, sent a private message to Babalola, describing his administration as “awesome.”
He wrote: “I have always follow your unparralell progress and achievements with utmost attention since your assumption of office including the latest strides of SOLADOYE SPOT and refurbishment of PEN junior school vans, all I need to say is well done. Some people had the opportunities in the past and used it to enrich their purses but for YOU, the contacts and opportunities are being used to elevate and benefit humanity. God continue to bless you. God bless you and perfect everything that concerns you.”
