Three journalists have been appointed into various positions in Nasarawa state by Governor Umaru Al-Makura.
The appointees as Mr Musa Elayo, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Governor; and Mr Yahuza Idris, the Chairman of Lafia Local Government Interim Management Committee (IMC).
The third appointee is Mr Tukura Matthew, a member of the Karu Local Government IMC.
Before their appointments, Elayo, Idris and Alhassan worked for the Nasarawa Broadcasting Service (NBS), Nasarawa State Ministry of Information and the Nigerian Newsday respectively.
The state Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) lauded the governor for appointing it members.
“The appointment of the three veteran journalists is a clear indication of the togetherness and love the governor has for journalists,” Chairman of the Council, Shammah stated.
He, however, urged the appointees to give their best in service to justify the confidence reposed in them as members of the fourth estate of the realm.
Shammah advised them to imbibe the spirit of transparency and accountability in service and be ambassadors of the journalism profession at all times.
