The 2025 Press Week of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FRCN Ibadan Chapel, opened with a thanksgiving service at the Lord’s City Gospel Grace Ministry, Apata.

In his sermon, Presiding Pastor Enoch Folorunsho urged Nigeria’s political leaders to seek divine intervention to tackle insecurity, saying the nation’s challenges remain surmountable through prayer.

He also encouraged journalists to uphold their watchdog role and called on government to improve their welfare.

NUJ FRCN Chapel Chairman, Mr Oluwakayode Banjo, advised Nigerians to remain steadfast and trust God despite national hardships.

Members attended the service in green and white attire, joined by senior FRCN officials including former Oyo NUJ Chairman and Deputy Director News, Mr. Adewumi Faniran, and Deputy Director Mrs. Olubunmi Olalere.

The chapel members also took time to dance and praise God for His benevolence over the past 12 months.

The Press Week continues on Monday with a lecture titled, “Post-Retirement for Journalists: Planning a Financial Future” at Studio One, Radio Nigeria, Dugbe.
