The Osun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has inaugurated various committees to conduct the 2024 Osun NUJ Press Week.

The committees, numbering 11, were saddled with the responsibility of ensuring a successful and hitch-free week-long program for the Press Week.

The inauguration ceremony took place at the monthly congress of the state council of the NUJ, held at the Press Centre, Osogbo.

Chairman of the Council, Comrade Wasiu Ajadosu, charged members of the various committees to perform their tasks diligently to ensure a successful 2024 Osun NUJ Press Week.

Ajadosu assured that the 2024 Osun NUJ Press Week, scheduled to hold between October 18th and 27th, 2024, will stand out from previous editions.

He promised full support from the executive committee for the program.

The committees include Jumat Service, Sunday Service, Opening Ceremony, Public Lecture, Health Walk, Sports, Award/Dinner, Asun Night, Professional Award, and Medical Check-Up.

Responding on behalf of other committees, Chairman of the Public Lecture committee and Assistant Secretary of the NUJ, Osun State Council, Comrade Oluwamayowa Fagboungbe, promised to leverage previous experience to deliver on the task ahead.

The Osun NUJ also appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to direct the appropriate government machinery to release letters of employment to 66 freelance staff of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC).

The NUJ described the non-issuance of employment letters to the 66 freelance staff as unacceptable and called on the Governor to urgently look into the issue.
