January 20, (THEWILL) – Correspondents’ Chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Akwa Ibom State Council after an Extraordinary General Congress to mark the first year of the present administration led by Comrade Idongesit Ashameri on Tuesday, resolved with a call on members to strictly adhere to the ethics of journalism profession, as political activities gathered momentum for the 2023 general elections.
Members were also advised not to allow themselves to be used by political office holders/seekers as instruments to settle political scores as it will be to their detriment.
The communique signed by the Comrades Idongesit Ashameri and Isaiah Eka, the chapel’s chairman and secretary respectively, called on politicians at all levels to conduct their political activities in line with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Electoral Act and Constitution of their respective parties.
This, the Chapel noted, was to ensure that the forthcoming party primaries and the general elections are devoid of violence, bloodshed and unnecessary rancour, that would disrupt the peace that the State currently enjoys.
It also called on contractors handling road projects in the state to adhere to the directives of the State Government for timely completion of all ongoing road projects in the State.
It recalled the State Government through the Commissioner for Works, Prof Eno Ibanga recently issued a directive urging all contractors to move to sites this dry season as they have been massively mobilised.
That they should also accelerate their activities to ensure all the roads currently under construction are completed for inauguration before the end of the present administration.
The communique called for closer supervision of all ongoing projects to ensure quality projects and timely completion.
It further advised the State Ministry of Health to focus on revitalising the primary healthcare delivery system, especially with regards to pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as children under five years
