According to him, the Committees are necessary in order to drive the activities of the Council as planned by the leadership of the Council stressing that the Committees are to complement the agenda of the Council.
On the delay in constitution and inauguration of the Committees, Umar Sa’idu explained that it was due to the case instituted against the Council by a few members which dragged on for almost one year which the Council eventually won.
He appealed for cooperation from the Committees to enable the Council to achieve its set objectives of moving the Union forward positively in line with the overall objective of NUJ as an entity.
Responding on behalf of the Committees, Chairman of the Elders Advisory Committee, Inuwa Bello commended the NUJ leadership for thinking it necessary to constitute the Committees and inaugurate them.
