African agriculture journalists to honour Kebbi, Ebonyi governors

AFRICAN journalists who specialise in the reportage of agricultural activities under the aegis of Pan African Agricultural Journalists (PAAJ) are set to honour the governors of Kebbi and Ebonyi states, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and Mr David Umahi, respectively for their roles in the development of agriculture in their various states and by extension the African continent.

Pan African Agricultural Journalists (PAAJ) is a network and regional association, of journalists and communication experts in the electronic, print and online media, who cover agriculture and agro-allied sectors in the continent.

PAAJ is a member of International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) and and partners with the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (UNFAO).

As contained in the letters addressed to the governors, the joirnalists noted that:” We have been following your tremendous achievements and therefore recognized your contributions to the development of agriculture in Nigeria and by extension, the continent.

“Your efforts in this aspect have captured our attention as media experts in the field of agriculture, so much that we are lured to recognise you.

In recognition of your contributions, the continental group, Pan African Agricultural Journalists (PAAJ), has nominated you for the ‘PAAJ Excellence Award.”

They, however, noted that the award does not come cheap as it is based on the various efforts by the governors of which are evident for evaluation.
