The Union also appreciated the Governor for approving and releasing the sum of Two Million Naira to support senior veterans, families of deceased journalists, and members of the Union in celebrating this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
The statement further advised the public to exercise caution, especially in handling and consuming food during the festive period, as the celebration involves animal slaughter and large gatherings.
