Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola has scored the Nigerian journalists high in the reportage of the state, describing it as balanced, fair, and in line with the ethics of the profession.

Speaking at the Dinner/Award Night of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Osun State Council, held at Leisure Spring Hotel, Osogbo, Oyetola maintained that Nigerian journalists, particularly those covering Osun, have demonstrated the height of professionalism by acknowledging and encouraging good governance through balanced and unbiased reportage of his administration’s efforts in offering good life to the people of Osun State and delivering quality services across all sectors.

The governor who was represented by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Abdullah Binuyo, was also inaugurated as the Grand Patron of the Osun NUJ on the occasion.

He appealed to media practitioners in the country to hold firmly to the tenets and ethics of their profession by being fair, balanced, accurate and prompt in their reportage.

He urged them to shun sensationalism in their daily reportorial.

Oyetola, who described journalism as a noble profession, tasked media practitioners on the need to always set modest agenda that could bring about genuine development and enhance good governance in the country.

He said the decision to accept the offer of Grand Patron of the Union was borne out of mutual trust and respect that the government and the media have for each other.

The Osun NUJ Chairman, Kehinde Ayantunji who acknowledged the support of the governor for the Union since he was the Chief of Staff, described Oyetola as a man of honour and integrity who is passionate about the development of the state.
