Oyo State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr Wasiu Olatunbosun has admonished a chairperson aspirant of Nigerian Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, in Oyo State, Mrs. Omolola Alamu and her team to remain focused on uplifting the association if elected.

Dr. Olatunbosun gave the admonition when the campaign train tagged, “The New Dawn Team” paid him a courtesy call at his office, Secretariat, Ibadan, after the team had visited the Information Chapel of the ministry to canvass the votes of women journalists.

The commissioner while stressing the need for the team to priortise the welfare of members if elected, equally solicited the support of the association for the present administration in the task of moving the state forward.

Earlier, the Director of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Rotimi Babalola had urged the New Dawn Team led by Mrs Omolola Alamu of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, Ibadan to embrace the spirit of sportsmanship for the election and shun acts that could bring the name of NAWOJ into disrepute.

The chairperson aspirant, Mrs. Omolola Alamu while canvassing for votes of NAWOJ members, pledged her team’s readiness to run an all-inclusive executive.

The campaign team later proceeded to Nigeria Television Authority, NTA, Ibadan.

Addressing the team at NTA, an Assistant Director News, Mrs. Aduniade Alao asked the team not to derail from the mission that NAWOJ stood for, in uplifting the women and children.

On the New Dawn Team are Shade Oduola vying for the post of Vice-Chairperson, Alhaja Ramat Alade for the office of the Secretary, Kehinde Igbari as Assistant Secretary, Temilola Akarah, Treasurer, and Temitope Oyewole as secretary.
