The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke resumed work over the weekend after his working vacation abroad with a news conference to commend the media for its balanced reportage.

The Governor while hosting media at the government secretariat, also commended journalists in the state for upholding the ethics of their profession.

“You are my important partners for the development of our dear state and I want to thank you for coming to this conference. I called you here for two reasons.

“First is to announce my resumption of duty after my working vacation abroad. I equally thank the media for its fairness in reporting stories and the rejection of fake news. You have upheld the ethics of journalism and I am happy.

“The second is to express my heartfelt gratitude to the media for the support you have given me over the last one year.

“Even when I was in Thailand, people were coming to me to say “well done” and its because of the good job the media in Osun is doing.

“I am asking for further partnership and collaboration as our government is committed to ensuring that we create a friendly environment for you to work.

” We are equally working on easing the challenges you face in the course of discharging your duties. Osun is moving to a new height and we are all part of the success story.” Said Adeleke.

Responding, the Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, (NUJ) Comrade Wasiu Ajadosu commended the governor for taking note of the efforts of journalists in the state.

“I want to welcome you back to the state sir, and I must tell you that we are very happy to see you again.

“As our patron, Mr Governor we are proud of you and we just want to appreciate you. We thank you for praising us and appreciating what we do in Osun”, Ajadosu noted.
