PORT HARCOURT, Rivers State – July 8, 2025 – In a significant move to sanitize the journalism profession and curb the proliferation of unqualified practitioners, the Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), led by Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia, officially flagged off its membership revalidation exercise on Monday. The initiative is a direct response to a directive from the NUJ National Secretariat, aimed at enhancing professionalism and accountability within the media landscape.
Speaking at the Ernest Ikoli Press Centre on Moscow Road, Port Harcourt, Comrade Bazia emphasized that the comprehensive revalidation process is critical for "checking the activities of quacks in the Journalism Profession." He disclosed that the National Secretariat has already launched a dedicated website for registration, instructing all State Councils to revalidate members across their various chapels.
