Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji MNSE, emerges “Distinguished Friend of the Media” as the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) honours him with an Award at the Press Freedom Awards 2021 which held late last night at the prestigious and famous Ladi Kwali Hall of the Abuja Sheraton Hotels & Towers.
It was big! it was hot! it was great!
According to the national President of the NUJ, Mr Christopher Isiguzo, the recipients of this award category were selected “after sifting through many nominations received from Journalists and members of the Nigerian public”.
There were other categories of award presented to deserving journalists and eminent Nigerians.
The Speaker was accompanied to the award ceremony by his friend and Member representing Isiala Ngwa North/South Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Honourable Darlington Nwokocha (Day Darlooo).
When the Nigeria Union of Journalists knock on your door to honour you with an Award, it can only mean one thing: you are doing things rightly.
Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji was the only State Assembly Speaker throughout the federation so honoured last night.
