The Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Mallam Saliu Mustapha, has approved the installation of internet facilities on the Press Centre of Kwara State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Offa Road, GRA, Ilorin.
He made this known on Saturday night during a brief interactive session with Journalists after Iftar (breaking of fast) held at his residence in Ilorin.
Mustapha, who chaired Senate Committee on Agricultural Production and Rural Services, said the installation of the internet facilities at NUJ Press Centre would assist journalists in filing their stories in earnest and with ease.
The Senator noted that the gesture was aimed at ensuring that practitioners in the media industry ply their trade in a conducive environment and minimize their expenses on internet subscription.
Mustapha pledged to always be of assistance to the Council whenever the need arises.
“I want to appreciate you (Journalists) for all that you have been doing in projecting us, and for drawing our attention to issues that needed to be addressed as lawmakers. As politicians representing our people, we cannot quantify the amount of job you do.
