Enugu Lawmaker Installs Solar Lights At NUJ Press Centre

The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Enugu State Council, has commended the member representing Nkanu East/West Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Nnoli Nnaji, for donating and installing solar-powered street lights at the NUJ Press Centre, Enugu.

NUJ made the commendation in a communiqué it issued at the end of the council’s monthly congress, which was signed by its Chairman, Obinna Ogbuka.

The council described the gesture as a welcome intervention that would improve security and the general environment of the NUJ premises. The council appealed to other political office-holders and good-spirited individuals to emulate the gesture by supporting initiatives aimed at improving the welfare and development of the council and its members.

NUJ, in the communique, also called for peaceful and issue-based campaigns ahead of the 2027 general election. It urged political parties and their supporters “to shun violence, hate speech, intimidation and other acts capable of threatening peace and security in Enugu State”.

The council also called on political parties and candidates “to abide by the provisions of the peace accord and other relevant electoral guidelines throughout the electioneering period”.

The NUJ also pleaded with the Enugu State government to review the reported N150 million charge imposed on candidates seeking to erect campaign billboards. “The charges should not become a financial barrier capable of discouraging or limiting political participation,” the council said.
