Abuja journalists need help fixing their run-down headquarters. The FCT branch of the Nigeria Union of Journalists asked Minister Nyesom Wike to visit their crumbling offices during their second Congress on Saturday. Members called their current meeting space unacceptable for media professionals working in the capital. They want Wike to complete their long-delayed Pentagon building project, which would become a landmark for Abuja journalists.
The union also highlighted problems facing residents across Nigeria. They complained about constant power outages caused by the local electricity company, AEDC. They said these blackouts hurt productivity for everyone living in the Federal Capital Territory. The group also criticized rising costs for phone service and internet data.
Journalists expressed worry about more mothers dying during childbirth because of inflation and economic hardship. They urged the government to provide free healthcare services for pregnant women before, during, and after delivery. The union promised to keep pushing authorities to address these issues affecting both media workers and regular citizens.
