IMMEDIATE past chairman of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council, Comrade Michael Ikeogwu has been appointed chairman of a nine-man credentials committee to screen candidates aspiring for different positions in the national congress/election holding later this year.
He was appointed at a well-attended virtual meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC), comprising members of the Central Working Committee, State Council chairmen and secretaries presided by the union’s national President, Comrade Chris Isiguzo.
Commending the choice of Michael Ikeogwu to head the NUJ 2024 Election/Congress Credentials Committee, Comrade Godwin Okoh, veteran journalist stated that “it should be noted that Ikeogwu was a former chairman of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Delta State Council, who also headed the Credentials Committee that midwifed the present executive of National Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) last year, so there’s no doubt that he will deliver on this new assignment given to him. He’s the best for the job at the moment”.
