AWALCO Nominates Grace Ike for November Journalism Award
The Association of West African Legislative Correspondents (AWALCO) has nominated Comrade Grace Ike, the Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council, for an award scheduled for November. This nomination was announced during a courtesy visit by AWALCO executives, led by President Innocent Odoh, to Ike in Abuja.
Odoh praised Ike's impressive achievements since her leadership began, noting her distinction as the first woman to chair the NUJ FCT Council as a significant milestone. He highlighted her courage and commitment, which have led to notable changes under her leadership.
The nomination was part of AWALCO's initiative to recognize journalists who have made substantial contributions to the profession. The award ceremony was initially planned for last year but was postponed.
Odoh expressed the importance of collaboration between AWALCO and the NUJ FCT Council in promoting democracy and good governance. In response, Ike expressed gratitude for the recognition and emphasized the media's critical role in society, urging journalists to uphold ethical reporting.
