The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Lagos council added another feather to its cap as Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Foundation donated 18-passengers Hummer Bus to the council.

The handing-over of the Bus was done in Lagos on Wednesday by the Director-General of Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Foundation, Hon. Ahmed Omisore.

“The former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is concerned about the well-being of Nigerians.

“The Foundation seeks to project Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he is and has been over the years”, Omisore said.

He said that BAT Foundation remained the greatest friend of the Media in Nigeria, saying that “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a Media owner and a lover of the press, which accounts for why the Media is Tinubu’s immediate constituency”.

The director-general acknowledged that the greatest men in the world were made by the media, hence, nobody could toil with the media as it is a veritable tool.

“This bus is given to NUJ Lagos Council in order to continue to take its rightful position as the most vibrant Council in Nigeria and to help the council in discharging its day-to-day activities,” he added.

Omisore urged NUJ Lagos Council members as well as the Executive members to support the Chairman, Mr. Adeleye Ajayi in order to attain greater heights.

Ajayi applauded Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and BAT Foundation for the kind gesture.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a philanthropist, a father, who is always willing to help people within a short time frame,” he said.

The NUJ chairman described the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a man with the largest political followership in the last two decades in Nigeria.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu who led the party to victory twice in the last seven years is a force to be reckoned with in Nigeria’s political space,” Ajayi said’

He emphatically mentioned that the days of individuals who engage in fake news were numbered as this led his administration to set up the Ethics & Disciplinary Committee to sanction erring members.
