The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has partnered with the Diplomatic Correspondents’ Association (DICAN) to promote professionalism, ethical standards, and tackle quackery in the journalism profession. The partnership was formalized when the DICAN Executive Council, led by Chairman Idehai Frederick, paid a courtesy visit to the first female Chairman of NUJ, FCT Council, Comrade Grace Ike, in her office in Utako, Abuja. Comrade Ike emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and collaboration in achieving shared goals among media professionals. “As we move forward, it is essential that we continue to work together, sharing our knowledge, expertise, and resources to achieve our goals,” she said. Ike also stressed that being a member of the NUJ is not enough, but active participation, including attending congresses and paying dues, is necessary to ensure one’s voice is heard. Idehai Frederick informed the NUJ-FCT leadership of the recent incorporation of DICAN as a legal entity by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). He said the new chapter brings with it a huge sense of responsibility and accountability, essential for any successful organization. Frederick commended Comrade Ike’s style of leadership, describing her as a symbol of hope and progress for the union. Both leaders agreed on the need to project NUJ FCT and DICAN positively on the global stage while supporting initiatives that strengthen the journalism profession. The meeting concluded with mutual commitments to explore opportunities for collaboration, particularly in areas that foster unity and national development. “As you embark on this new journey, it’s crucial to prioritize transparency and accountability,” Idehai said.
