…Gets awards from colleagues
A Veteran Broadcast journalist and developer, Dr. Babatunde Adeyemo, has called on Nigerian journalists to quickly take the noble journalism profession back from charlatans lest they plunge the country and society into an avoidable crisis with their unwholesome and uncensored content.
Adeyemo lamented that people without requisite professional or on–the–job training in journalism and mass communication have taken over the media space, especially social media, to push out negative content that serves the primordial sentiments of unsuspecting members of the public, urged professionals to wrest the trade from the quacks in the interest of peace, harmony, national stability, and cohesion.
The ex – Correspondent of MITV and now the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, Nigerian foremost real estate firm, advised while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after the celebration of this year’s edition of World Television Day at the Secretariat of the Ogun State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ) Abeokuta, the state capital where he was bestowed with the award.
Other dignitaries that were given awards at the occasion include its pioneer chairman and TVC reporter, Com. Kazeem Olowe, State chairman of the NUJ, Com. Wale Olanrewaju, Baale Arulogun Olawale Taofeek, the National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Dr. Oluwafemi Abayomi Arabambi, Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun and former Commissioner for Information in Ondo State, Mr. Kayode Akinmade and others.
