…As Correspondents’ Chapel Again Severes Relationship With Council

The Kwara State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has continued to wallow in one crisis or another as the Correspondents’ Chapel has again severed its relationship with the Council over what the Chapel described as unlawful suspension of its Secretary, Mosunmola Ayobami, and two other Council members at the National Executive Council meeting held in Jigawa State two weeks ago.

The Chapel announced the decision at its Congress held at the Chapel Secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital, while admonishing strict compliance by members.

The Congress resolved that “until the unlawful suspension is reversed, Chapel members will not attend any event organised at the Council or treat, or use any story emanating from the Council and the duo of Abdulateef Ahmed and Yinka Alaya, Council Chairman and Secretary respectively”.

The Congress further resolved that any member who flouts the Congress resolutions would be sanctioned severely.

It added: “Moreover, any member who takes any story from both the Council Chairman and Secretary or invites members to any assignment on proxy for the Council or the individuals earlier mentioned will be sanctioned.

“Members of the Chapel are therefore enjoined to ensure strict compliance with these directives in their own interests and to ensure that the era of impunity by the Council leadership is nipped in the bud.”
