Election of officers into the executive committee of the Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) will hold today in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
A statement signed by Chairman and Secretary, Credentials and Caretaker Committee, Dr. Alpheaus Paul-Worika and Mike Mbonye, respectively, said that the elections will hold at the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) Secretariat, Moscow Road, near the Rivers State Secretariat Complex, Port Harcourt.

It would be recalled that the election, initially billed to hold on May 21, 2015, was rescheduled by the national secretariat of the NUJ to resolve outstanding issues in line with the union’s constitution and electoral guidelines.
