The FCT Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has distributed over 600 bags of rice in celebration of the Christmas season to its members.

The Chairman of the council, Comrade Grace Ike, reaffirmed her administration’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of members and the collective advancement of the union during the distribution.

She explained that the gesture, which has become an annual tradition under her leadership, was aimed at cushioning the effects of prevailing economic challenges on members while reinforcing the bonds of unity and solidarity within the council.

Addressing journalists during the exercise, Comrade Grace stated that the distribution was not merely a seasonal gesture, but a deliberate demonstration of the council’s commitment to its members’ well-being.

She said, “It is with immense joy and gratitude that we gather today for this special moment of sharing and solidarity. On behalf of the NUJ FCT Council, I am proud to announce that we are set to distribute over 600 bags of rice to our members as we usher in the Christmas season.

“This gesture is more than a distribution; it is a heartfelt commitment to the welfare of every one of you who tirelessly upholds the pillars of truth, accountability and public service in the FCT.

“This marks the second consecutive year we have undertaken this initiative – a tradition born from our collective resolve to bring smiles to your faces amid life’s challenges.”

She further said the council was determined to ensure that no member was left behind, especially during a season that symbolised love and generosity.

She expressed appreciation to sponsors, partners and members of the executive council for their support, noting that their collective effort was helping to redefine care and community within the NUJ FCT Council.

Earlier, Comrade Grace, alongside members of the executive council, held an end-of-year interactive session with members of the State Executive Council (SEC), comprising chairmen and secretaries of the various chapels.
