Emmanuel Sam, special assistant on local media to the governor of Akwa Ibom, has thrown his weight behind the success of the upcoming 2020 Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) press week celebration scheduled to hold between December 6 and December 11, 2020.
Speaking while receiving the state chairman of NUJ and members of the 2020 press week committee who were in his office on Friday, the governor’s aide said he would not only attend the weeklong event but also do everything within his power to ensure the success of week.
Sam, who described the event as timely, also seized the opportunity to thank journalists in the state for the “crucial role” they have been playing in the development of Akwa Ibom over the years.
He also thanked the state chairman of the union for stabilising the media sector in the state for development and peace to thrive even as he commended journalists for the support given to his boss.
