Comrade Nmodu noted with concern that, over the years , journalists have suffered various forms of impunity due to misuse of power and lack of political will by leaders to control forces of power.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that, in Niger State, however, there has been low rate of impunity against journalists since he assumed office last year and that , minor ones recorded were properly managed.<\/p>\n

The State Chairman of NUJ who assured that, Journalists would continue to work in accordance with the ethics of the profession, urged political actors to be tolerant and accomodating with journalists in bringing out facts to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
