As the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi State draws near, Isiguzo urged journalists to be fair to all parties contesting the election.

“Our duty to report accurately, fairly, and fearlessly is our pledge to the public, a covenant that underscores the importance of our role in shaping public discourse, influencing policy, and fostering social change.

“The stories we tell, the issues we highlight, and the voices we amplify contribute to the fabric of our society’s narrative,” he stated.

The NUJ President also advised them to allow the spirit of journalistic camaraderie and professional growth continue to thrive in Kogi State and beyond.

He cautioned journalists to be professional and unbiased in the reporting of the governorship election, pointing out that the Kogi election was about the people and not a section.

“This week has been a journey of enlightenment, camaraderie, and shared aspirations, a testament to the unwavering dedication and professionalism that define journalists in Kogi State.

On the unveiling of the book “Media Development in Kogi State, 1999-2023,” the NUJ described it as a “remarkable literary endeavor that captures the evolution of media in this state over a span of twenty-four years.

“I am particularly honored to have contributed the foreword to this significant publication.”
