Ahmed Bola Tinubu Foundation on Wednesday presented 18 seater bus to Nigerian Union of Journalists NUJ Lagos Council.
The Foundation chairman, Mr. Ahmed, while presenting the bus said this bus is being given to the council by my principal, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to facilitate the movement of the executive and it’s a sign of better things to come from him.
Asiwaju Tinubu is a friend of journalists, brother of journalists, father of journalists and he will continue to assist NUJ and journalists as long as the need arises.
We want the current executive to continue to carry all the members along and build a formidable union and a leading council in the NUJ councils in Nigeria.
Lagos NUJ Chairman, Mr. Adeleye Ajayi, while receiving the bus, thanked Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for the gesture.
He said, This bus is coming at a time most needed by members of Lagos Council under this administration. The bus will no doubt assist in the day-to-day running of the activities of the council.
We came into office on November 26, 2020, and I want to say that donating this bus to us is one of the milestones the present NUJ executive has recorded.
The donation of this bus has also boosted our performance as it has proven that the present executive members of NUJ, Lagos State Council are committed to achieving results.
Aside from this, we are making headway in the area of land reallocation to our members who bought land under the Mowe/Ofada/Abaren land project.
We have also moved by constituting various committees comprising Land Committees, Training Committee, Consultancy/Contacts Committee, ICT Committee, Agric Committee, Cooperative Committee, Projects Committee, Health Committee, Ethics and Disciplinary Committee and Finance Committee.
Others are NUJ Personality Committee, Welfare Committee, Legal and Dispute Resolution Committee, Sports Committee, Social Committee, Seminar and Workshop Committee, Press Week Committee, Media Investment Committee, Publications Committee and Special Committee.
All these committees are meant to make the present NUJ administration an all-inclusive administration.
Back to the business of the day, the NUJ lauds the generous gesture of Asiwaju Tinubu, a statesman, a nationalist, a detribalized Nigerian and a man who commands the largest political followership for over two decades in the political history of Nigeria.
Asiwaju Tinubu, a politician and philanthropist, has done so much for the masses of this country and that his Foundation deemed it fit to donate this bus is highly commendable and calls for a celebration.
For this gesture, we will forever continue to appreciate Asiwaju Tinubu.
