Ogun State House of Assembly has challenged the journalists in the State to continue to uphold the tenets of their profession by being objective while reporting various activities and programmes of government to the governed.

The Assembly Speaker,Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide gave the charge, while playing host to the members of the Consolidated Chapel of the State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) led by Comrade Segun Olukoga, at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

The Speaker counseled that as the members of the fourth estate of realm, they should always be cautious of the impact of their reports on the overall wellbeing of the people, saying though, Journalists face a lot of risk in carrying out their duties, yet they remained the voice of the people at all times.

He promised to continue to accord them necessary support in all their activities, saying the legislative arm would always be ready to assist them in carrying out their activities.

Earlier in his presentation, Comrade Olukoga solicited the support of the Assembly in all the Chapel's activities, while seeking other areas of protection for Journalists through the implementation of relevant legislation.

The Assembly also played host to the State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps ( FRSC) led by the Sector Commander Anthony Uga, admonishing the officials to carry out more enlightenment campaigns and reorientation to reduce road crashes rather than imposing fines on motorists.
