The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ogun State Council, wishes to state unequivocally that the body known as the League of Yewa-Awori Media Practitioners (LOYAMP) is not a recognized organ, chapel, affiliate or professional association under the Council.

For the avoidance of doubt, no group bearing the name “League of Yewa-Awori Media Practitioners (LOYAMP)” exists within the constitutional structure of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Ogun State. 

Consequently, it has no authority or mandate to present itself as speaking for media practitioners or journalists in the state.

The Council further clarifies that the only duly recognized NUJ chapel serving that axis is the Ota Independent Online Chapel, made up of professional journalists of proven integrity and standing, whose members provide credible news coverage across the entire Ogun West Senatorial District.

The NUJ, Ogun State Council, remains the only recognized umbrella body for practicing journalists in the state and will continue to safeguard the integrity, ethics and professionalism of the journalism profession.

Members of the public, government institutions, corporate organizations and other stakeholders are therefore advised to disregard any representation by LOYAMP suggesting that it speaks on behalf of journalists or media practitioners under the auspices of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State Council.

The Council remains committed to protecting the credibility of the journalism profession and ensuring that only duly recognized professional bodies operate under the banner of the NUJ.

Ogun NUJ Chairman

Ogun NUJ Secretary
