As Christians across the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council, has extended warm Easter greetings to journalists and residents of the FCT, calling for a reflection on the values of sacrifice, hope, and renewal that the season represents.

Chairman of the Council, Comrade Grace Ike, in her Easter goodwill message, called on media professionals and Nigerians at large to embrace the core essence of Easter— emphasising its powerful message of unwavering faith and the triumph of good over evil.

“This season reminds us that no matter the difficulties we face, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.

“The resurrection of Christ is a symbol of victory, of life over death. It challenges us all to rededicate ourselves to unity, resilience, and selflessness”, Comrade Ike stated.

Addressing journalists in particular, the NUJ FCT Chairman emphasized the role of the media in fostering national development and cohesion. She encouraged journalists to remain steadfast in upholding the ethics of the profession, and to continue acting as the conscience of society by promoting truth, peace, and justice.

Comrade Ike also reminded journalists to prioritise their safety while carrying out their duties, reaffirming the Council’s commitment to their welfare and professional development.
